Linsey Smith is flourishing in her second crack at international cricket.
The left-arm spinner took a five-fer on her ODI debut earlier this summer and is set to feature in her first 50-over World Cup having returned to the England fold at the start of 2024 after an absence of several years. But after that first international foray into, she nearly quit the sport having lost her love and desire for it.
She gives a fascinating insight into that journey back to the top over the past few years, how she made the switch to spin bowling whilst at university and plenty more in a very insightful episode.
