Essex Cricket Chairman ANU MOHINDRU

A great chat with Essex Chairman Anu Mohindru, who reflects on a turbulent last few years at the club, with off-field issues such as the Newton Report and "Batgate" - where the club was punished for Feroze Khushi's bat not meeting requirements in the game against Notts early last season. Add to that the departures of CEO John Stephenson and Director of Cricket Anthony McGrath, Anu has had a lot to deal with.

For all that, he has navigated the stormy waters well and with the support of his board and club staff, 2025 is looking a lot brighter. We talk about the return to the club of Chris Silverwood and also the great prospect of Essex having a Tier 1 Women's team. There's an update on the ground and also we chat about the issues affecting the domestic game.
