Coaching Bethell and a rare Lord's double

Coaching Bethell and a rare Lord's double

Author: The Cricketer April 2, 2026 Duration: 24:34

Former Warwickshire captain Michael Powell, head of cricket at Rugby School, has played a major role in developing England stars Jacob Bethell and Maia Bouchier.

Here, he discusses their success, his passion for helping to make Rugby a regular venue for his old county, and how the private sector can help to revive cricket in state schools.


The Cricketer's schools coverage is brought to you in association with our friends at Durant Sports.
