5/20/20261 hr 17 min
Stick to Cricket returns as Michael Vaughan, Phil Tufnell, Sir Alastair Cook and David “Bumble” Lloyd are joined by special guest Darren Gough — brought to you by Betfair.
In this episode, Gough opens up about the injuries that forced him into retirement, his unexpected journey on Strictly Come Dancing, and how a show he initially hated quickly became something he loved.
The team also reflects on Gough’s career, life after cricket, and the transition away from the game.
A major talking point is the England selector role, as Darren reveals all... from applying for the job, to learning he’d been rejected, and the England side he would have picked.
Plus, the panel takes a closer look at the current England setup, Brendon McCullum’s future, and the future of England’s development structure.

Data brokers are making billions pulling details about you from public records and the internet, then packaging and selling it, usually without your consent. That's how your information lands in the hands of scammers, spammers, even stalkers. It's why you get endless robocalls and why ads seem to follow you everywhere. That's where Aura comes in. Aura actively removes your data from broker sites and keeps it off. They also instantly alert you if your information shows up in a breach or on the dark web. But Aura goes beyond data protection.
