Ronnie Irani is a former England cricketer who started his club career at Lancashire CCC, but played most of his career at Essex County Cricket Club, eventually becoming team captain. Internationally, he played only three Tests for England with mixed success but performed far more effectively One Day Internationals.
Ronnie’s most memorable moment on the cricket pitch was not whilst playing, but whilst warming-up; with his back to the Australian audience, Ronnie found himself being copied by fans who found the whole thing hilarious. When he discovered what the fans were doing he intentionally sped up his routine forcing them to try and keep up!
Forced into retirement following a recurring knee injury sustained in 2003, Ronnie Irani now works as a cricket speaker and a guest at sports events; cashing in on his well-received and fondly remembered on-pitch persona, Ronnie makes frequent appearances as a sports speaker at events up and down the UK.
In his speeches, Ronnie discusses not only his own career but the general trends in both modern and contemporary cricket. He has been called upon to comment on many of the One Day International matches on behalf of both radio and television broadcasters.
