Reece Topley - Cricket’s Franchise Gun, the Dark Arts & Freddie Flintoff’s Lifeline
England’s fast-bowling giant Reece Topley joins me to lift the lid on life as a franchise cricketer — from the whirlwind of the IPL to the politics and manipulation that lurk behind the scenes. We talk about the grind of the circuit, the battles on and off the pitch, and how cricket legend Freddie Flintoff threw him a lifeline when he was at his lowest. Plus, Reece reveals his growing love affair with the USA and what life could look like beyond the boundary.
