COMING SOON: Bonus episode! David will be answering YOUR questions about the life of a franchise cricketer. Get in touch via the methods below.

It's August 2023 and David has recently left the USA where he was playing for MI New York in the first edition of Major League Cricket. We discover how the American people responded to the tournament, how players made the most of American culture and plenty more.

On the agenda: playing cricket at baseball stadiums, no nets to train in, tech finance, catching without mitts, singing the Star Spangled Banner, accessorising the Texan way, adopted Americans (via Durham and Durban), the English summer under threat, possibly the greatest T20 innings of all time, 2am Zoom calls and a night at the rodeo.
