At Uni, I worked for Yorkshire CCC, I managed the cricket centre at Headingley a few times a week, coached various county age group teams and worked within local schools. I played in the Bradford League and Airedale and Wharfedale league, where I conversed with all stakeholders from grassroots to the higher echelons of the game. My experience of the sport then was that it polarized people, there was a complete lack of empathy and understanding of different cultures and their struggles.

It was a bold ask to write a dissertation regarding my employers but in all fairness to Yorkshire CCC they opened the doors to interview all key stakeholders from the CEO, players, coaches, ex-players and club cricketers.
