Season 14, Ep 3: We're lucky to work on a lot of cricket around the world each year and never take that for granted. But what I (Adam here) didn't have on my radar until last year was a tournament with origins dating back before the women's professional era - the FairBreak Invitational. It takes some getting your head around at first, but bringing players together from more than 30 countries is pretty special and deserves a lot of love from the cricket community at large.
