In the latest episode of Outside Edge, host Chandresh Narayanan talks to former England cricketer Mark Butcher, whose first music album is launching soon. Mark talks about his journey after cricket and his love for music and songwriting.
But once a cricketer, always a cricketer, and Mark justifies this, saying: “Cricket was always a dominant part of my life.” Chandresh asks if he’d want to perform as a musician at the World Cup, but Marks says he wants to focus on his music career first and isn’t looking to perform at the World Cup any time soon.
Moving beyond his music, Mark shares his concerns about cricket today. He says the 50-over game was dying right until the 2015 World Cup, but the format has now bounced back to how it was in the 1980s. He says this is because of the rates at which runs are scored now, and matches being more neck and neck.
This and more, so tune in!
