Chris Powell loves cricket.

A handy leg-spinner growing up, he played Minor Counties cricket as well as for Gloucestershire’s second XI and, after completing a masters degree in sports science, returned to the club where he now works as a physio.

Chris is also gay and, having come out to colleagues at the club in 2017, is now joining us for his first-ever podcast interview to chat about his story.

This is a brilliant conversation with a top guest who made a real splash when he shared his story on Gloucestershire’s website as part of LGBT+ History Month – and we’re delighted to have him on the podcast today.

We talk about Chris’ career; his love of sport; his journey with his own sexuality; sharing his story, both with the club and with the wider public; being inspired by Steve Davies; where cricket stands at the moment when it comes to inclusivity; learning Spanish – and how it feels to be hit by a ball in nets!

This is a top chat with a brilliant guest, and we really think you’re going to like it.
