They'll lose form. They'll lose confidence. They'll miss out on selection.

The question isn't whether those setbacks will happen.

The question is...

How do you respond when they do?

He then went on to become England’s greatest ever fast bowler.

A reminder that player development is rarely straightforward.

New episode of The Cricket Mind Podcast 🎙️

Why do some young players stay in cricket for years… while others quietly drift away?

In this episode, we’re joined by coach Laura de Silva and Middlesex player Charlotte Bernstein for a really honest conversation about:

• confidence
• pressure
• enjoyment
• coach–player relationships
• and the environments that keep players coming back

One phrase that came up during the episode:

“You’re not unlucky.”

A really thoughtful discussion from both a coach and player perspective.

What do you think keeps players engaged in cricket long term?
