Vikram Solanki became the only full-time non-white coach across the domestic league in England after becoming assistant head coach of Surrey County Cricket Club - we speak to Roland Butcher, the first black player to represent England, on the lack of ethnic minority coaches in county cricket. Two weeks ago, not many of you would have heard of 26-year-old wicketkeeper Heinrich Klaasen - but he is now been in the headlines following a remarkable performance with the bat to give South Africa a much needed victory in the fourth One Day International against India in Johannesburg. India eventually won their first bilateral series in South Africa with victory in the fifth ODI. Klaasen was called into the Proteas squad for his debut after Quinton de Kock injured his finger in the second ODI and Heinrick told Alison the last couple of weeks have been a complete dream. Also on this week's programme, we pay tribute to the former New Zealand Test captain Bevan Congdon who died, one day short of his 80th birthday, after a long illness. Congdon led New Zealand to their first win over Australia in Christchurch in 1974. The former Black Caps batsman John Parker played 22 Tests alongside Congdon including that historic win over the Aussies. He told Alison his memories of what it was like to share the same dressing room as Congdon. (Photo: Roland Butcher. Credit - Getty Images)
