Season 10, Ep 13: From captaining boys' under-10s to captaining England goes the story. But retiring as a player brought much more. By now it's fair to say that no one person has driven as much progress for women in cricket as Clare Connor. Through the ECB and ICC, this is the story of that change. It's also the story of the human side of making it happen.

On the first day of the controversial Hundred competition, and soon after learning that she will become the first woman president of the Marylebone Cricket Club, we sit down with Clare for a full Final Word special.
