Season 19 Episode 32: Three months to the day from the start of the Women's T20 World Cup, there's nobody better to chat with, to chart the rise of the women's game in the nine years since England last hosted a global tournament, than Clare Connor. A giant of cricket administration, she's had her fingerprints over the transformation we've all seen; her ambition, in so many ways, now realised. A guest well known to our audience, Clare spoke with Adam about her nearly two decades as managing director of the women's game at the ECB, as she prepares for what comes next after announcing she's finishing in the role at the end of this huge summer.
