This week I am joined by 23 year old Yorkshire and England Spinner Dom Bess.

We sat down during the isolation period before the India series to talk about how Dom fell into cricket. We also had a chat about his personal experiences with anxiety, and how he has found it challenging both on and off the field.

Dom was exceptionally honest and open with me during this conversation, so I really hope you find it informative and beneficial.
