*We apologise for Yas' microphone quality* On this bonus episode of the Wisden Cricket Weekly podcast, Yas Rana speaks to Adam Hollioake. 20 years on from leaving Surrey as a player, he's back in South London as part of their coaching staff. And he’s been through a fair bit in that time. He moved back to Australia shortly after the death of his brother Ben, created a TV show, started his own business, was declared bankrupt, was a boxer and cage fighter, and more recently, coached around the world, from Queensland, to Afghanistan to Pakistan. There's chat on everything that's happened between leaving Surrey and coming back home, and a bit on his time before then too, as one of the most successful captains in the history of English domestic cricket. We're doing another live show, this time in Birmingham!
