I am a sports writer who is passionate about sports such as cricket, badminton and football. I write regularly for Rising East, mainly badminton match reports and previews. Cricket is my main passion and I will be reporting on the sport. I work for The Guildford Dragon as their Surrey Cricket correspondent. I also am keen to do more multimedia work, such as radio and podcasting.
