Our final meeting of 2024/25 featured another special speaker, when JAMES TAYLOR – ex-England, Notts and Leics batter – joined us @ Beverley Town CC [map].
After seven Tests and 27 ODIs, James was forced into abrupt retirement in 2016 by a previously undiagnosed heart condition.
Since then he has served as England Men's Test Selector and Chief Scout (2018–22) and is now forging a new career as Assistant Coach at Leicestershire CCC.
We'd lots to talk about – looking at James's background, career and illness, as well as all the hottest cricketing topics.
