Third Man in Havana: Finding the Heart of Cricket in the World’s Most Unlikely Places by Tom Rodwell, published by our sports imprint Corinthian, is out tomorrow!

For six years Tom Rodwell ran cricketing programmes from Cuba to Zimbabwe, attempting to soothe the world’s ills with the curiously English balm known as cricket.

From Beersheva Cricket Club pavilion in Israel – a converted nuclear bomb shelter, useful in the face of Hamas’ regular rocket attacks – to a game of ‘tapeball’ cricket with ex-Tamil Tiger child soldiers behind barbed wire in Sri Lanka, Rodwell discovers that the heart of the game is beating fast in countries more used to conflict than cricket.

Check out the book trailer below to view some footage of Tom’s wonderful journey.

Touching, amusing and imbued with a deep love of the game, Third Man in Havana documents the characters and experiences Rodwell encountered. You can find out more about the book here and read an extract from it here.
