    EP09 | From life-threatening illness to playing in The Hundred: Western Storm and Welsh Fire's Nicole Harvey shares her remarkable story

    EP09 | From life-threatening illness to playing in The Hundred: Western Storm and Welsh Fire's Nicole Harvey shares her remarkable story

    Taylor Williams talks with Western Storm, Welsh Fire and Cornwall's own Nicole Harvey. 12 or so months ago — while 32 weeks pregnant with her first child — Nicole was diagnosed with sepsis, which proved severe and life-threatening. Earlier this year she was just beginning to walk again and playing cricket at any level — let alone professionally — was still a distant pipedream. Fast forward several months to July '21 and Nicole's walking out at Emerald Headingley to take on the Northern Superchargers in the inaugural Hundred tournament. Hers is a truly remarkable story of courage, determination and fortitude.  

    Nicole also takes us inside the Welsh Fire camp, revealing the challenges of bio-secure living and getting to grips with a brand-new format — all while being a mum and managing post-sepsis syndrome. As usual, we discuss the best players Nicole's played with and against, and the best things about playing cricket in and for Cornwall.
