In the first of The Millfield Way's podcast series 'In Conversation With...', Millfield Registrar James Postle speaks to Director of Cricket, Mark Garaway. Mark discusses his early playing career in the Isle of Wight, where he then went on to represent Hampshire in three first-class and two List-A matches between 1996 and 1997. Mark also played for the Marylebone Cricket Club in a single first-class match against a Pakistan A team.
In February 2006 and at the age of 32, Mark was named as the new team analyst and assistant coach of England, ahead of the tour to India.
Garaway is currently the Director of Cricket at Millfield School.
