Nick Compton is a former cricket player and England batsman who is now an author and photographer. In today's episode he lifts the curtain behind the scenes of international cricket. From training routines, the evolution of the game, and players' wages, to explaining the background of the fielding pitch named “silly mid-off”. Nick then opens up about his struggle from professional to retirement, how he’s tried to fill the hole of cricket, his love of photography and its correlations to the game, and so much more. 

Nick is brutally honest about his journey and this is a seriously insightful conversation. If you enjoyed this episode, I’d highly recommend picking up Nick’s book called “Legacy” as he delves into the topics we discussed in further detail and makes for a riveting read. 

In the meantime, enjoy the show.
