An Evening with The Cricketer

Huw Turbervill – Editor, The Cricketer magazine

Huw is the editor of The Cricketer, and has been writing full-time for the magazine for a decade, after 15 years at the Telegraph. He wrote The Toughest Tour: The Ashes Away Series Since the War in 2010, and his new book, The Final Test, is out this spring. After reaching the heady heights of Suffolk 2nds, he now plays for Beddington CC in South London. He was once run out by Mike Gatting in a charity match (“it was never out!”).

 

George Dobell - Chief Correspondent, The Cricketer

George first wrote for The Cricketer in 1997. Since then he has been Cricket Correspondent of The Birmingham Post, Spin magazine and, for 10 years, ESPNcricinfo. In between times, he worked for The Guardian and The Times and ghosted Jonathan Trott’s autobiography. He re-joined The Cricketer as Chief Correspondent in November 2021.


Lucy Pearson

Lucy has a 25-year career in teaching, where she became the first female Head of Cheadle Hulme School in Cheshire. She played cricket for England from 1996 to 2005 and was twice named England Women's Cricketer of the Year (2000 and 2003).

A left-arm fast-medium opening bowler, her best performance came against Australia in 2003, becoming only the second English woman in over 70 years to take 11 wickets against Australia. Her international career included over 75 matches across Tests, ODIs and the first international T20 game played anywhere in the world before injury forced her to retire.

She continued to contribute to the sport as a director of the England and Wales Cricket Board from 2017-2023.

Lucy is currently Director of Education at the Football Association, a post she has held since 2018. She believes in the power of sport to act as a force for good and is committed to making it accessible to as many people as possible.
