In Cricket Changed My Life Annie Chave throws the spotlight on a diverse medley of
people, whose very variety highlights the fact that cricket can benefit anyone, that the game’s reach is
not confined to players or even to fields of play.
From a Pakistani teenager left for dead by terrorists to England’s first black international cricketer,
from journalists and broadcasters who have battled adversity to forge careers in cricket to a pair of
Syrian refugees, and from one of England’s greatest all-rounders to the inimitable David ‘Bumble’
Lloyd, Chave writes about the lives of eleven very different people for whom the game of cricket has
been transformative.
Through wide-ranging and illuminating interviews, the author delves deep into the (oftenunpredicted)
life-enhancing properties of cricket, revealing, in some cases, its power to reclaim lives
lived on the brink of despair.
