In this episode of The Paddock and The Pavilion, Stephen Wallis takes a short break from the Ashes countdown to welcome back Kobus Olivier, CEO of the Ukraine Cricket Federation. 

Kobus has arrived at Rugby School with fellow coach Olena Kravchenko and seven young Ukrainian cricketers for a week-long tour of England.

Olena shares her remarkable story from her early days as a dancer to becoming a cricket coach in a war-torn country.

Following on from episode 370 with Kobus, this is another truly inspiring story showing how cricket continues to bring joy to children from Ukraine, now being coached at one of Britain’s most historic schools by former Warwickshire captain Michael Powell and former England fast bowler Neal Radford.
