    In this special episode of The Paddock and the Pavilion, host Stephen Wallis is joined by Roland Butcher, the former England cricketer and sporting trailblazer to explore his remarkable life and new autobiography Breaking Barriers Barbados to England and Back. Roland reflects on his upbringing in Barbados, his historic debut in 1980 as the first Black cricketer to play for England, and the key life lessons that have shaped his journey. Joining the conversation are coauthor Dr Sasha Sutherland and Roland’s son Paul, who offer valuable insights into Roland not just as a cricketer, but as a person, his character, his values, and what drives him. This episode shines a light on Roland’s enduring impact, his belief in making a difference, and what truly makes him a pioneer on and off the field.
