*RECORDED PRIOR TO INDIA SERIES*
We have the priviledge of sitting down with Zimbabwe National Team Strength & Conditioning Coach, Curtly Diesel.
Curtly takes us inside the inner workings of the Zimbabwe setup. We discuss the standards being built within the squad, the team's recent success against Bangladesh, the culture Justin Sammons and his coaching staff are creating, and what it takes to prepare international cricketers for the demands of modern cricket.
Curtly also reflects on his move to Zimbabwe Cricket, the players who have impressed him most since arriving, the impact of working alongside legends like Courtney Walsh, and how the team is preparing for the challenges that lie ahead.
If you've ever wondered what happens beyond the boundary rope to help Zimbabwe compete on the international stage, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
