Former England๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Spin Bowler: 167 Test wickets & 1 six๐ฅ Now coaching, sports presenting & broadcasting and still turning the odd ball square๐
So today I am withdrawing as a General Election candidate for The Workers Party. I realise I need more time to listen, learn and find my political home, one that aligns with my personal and political values.
Iโm a proud Brit who has had the honour to represent my country at the highest level of cricket. I now want to do my bit to help others but I recognise I am at the beginning of my journey and still learning about how politics can help people.
I wish The Workers Party all the best but look forward to taking some time to mature and find my political feet so I am well prepared to deliver my very best when I next run up to the political wicket.
Thank you
Monty

Brilliant programme, we need to be taught about British history. Being a visible Sikh with a Turban was almost impossible in 1970. Huge respect to Sikhs who maintained their identity during that time and how they protected other communities.

There are severe problems with the culture of masculinity in menโs sport, men and boys must adapt rather than seek help. It has created an environment where you feel pressured to be silent about their own mental health.

"Changing the ball has been considered as a way of improving the England Test team, which most agree is the competition's major role.
"So, it shouldn't be laughed out of town, but perhaps the last fortnight has shown that there is a time and a place."

Ben Stokes as a leader is different from the captains involved in the other famous away wins. T20 cricket has allowed players to play without fear. Brilliant article
Welcome, Hyderabad 2024, step right this way.

Crawley will be key, longer he bats the more nervous India will get. His controlled aggression will determine the result. England self-belief demands our attention.
Thought Stokesโs captaincy and Englandโs out-cricket were both brilliant today. They had a better day than they could have hoped for. Day 3 report โฆ

Zak Crawley says England always believed they could win the first Test despite a 190-run deficit on first innings
Being nervous means you care about your performance.
โIโm prepared; I deserve to be hereโ thatโs good ner- vous. The anxiety becomes problematic when the thoughts are very negative. Instead of โIโm going to have a good dayโ itโs โI just donโt want to screw up.โ

Ben Stokes now has 14 wins from 19 since being appointed England Test captain. He went past Mike Atherton's tally of 13/54 yesterday. Here, Nasser Hussain - the next man in his sights on that winningest list with 17/45 - spells out what makes him so good
Bazball has been a joy to watch but now England must listen and learn: NASSER HUSSAIN on the changes Ben Stokes' side have to make to bounce back from third-Test hammering by India
'Of all the problems we might have foreseen for England on this tour, a failure of Rootโs technique and temperament was perhaps bottom of the list'

Could either have stayed in my room getting depressed by whatโs on the news, or get out and move. Glad I chose the latter. Itโs been a really busy few weeks and I am not looking after myself. 2024 is going to be a big year, and I need to be mentally and physically prepared. Who
