Ep 315 - Roland Butcher - Breaking Barriers & Inspiring Others

from The Paddock and The Pavilion - The Horse Racing and Cricket Podcast · host Stephen Wallis

In this special episode, I’m joined by a familiar voice on the podcast, Roland Butcher. Known for his expert cricketing insights, Roland takes us beyond the boundary as we delve into something deeply personal and profoundly inspiring: his forthcoming autobiography, Breaking Barriers: Barbados to England and Back.   Roland made history in 1980 as the first black cricketer to represent England, and in this conversation, we discuss the story behind his landmark book, which is set to launch in Barbados in April and the UK in May. More than just a cricket memoir, the book chronicles Roland’s journey—from humble beginnings in Barbados to making history on the cricket field.   For the next twenty minutes, Roland reveals the people who have been most important to him throughout his life and shares his hopes that Breaking Barriers will motivate people around the world to pursue their dreams and overcome challenges.
