Keep your eyes peeled next week for our highly anticipated interview with former England captain and all round great bloke Adam Hollioake.

Adam chats with Matt Ellis about the origins of his passion for cricket, what it felt like to be born in Australia and playing for England, his parents turning up to Headingley and finding out they were in attendance when he saw them on the big screen, his approach to captaincy, the impact of the loss of his brother Ben and the happy memories they had together, life after cricket and of course who he would invite to his dream net session.

He wraps up the conversation with a great story involving Sir Vivian Richards and actor Chris Rock.

This is a chat that you do not want to miss!
