The return of international cricket and one man's road to recovery

BBC World Service - Sportshour, The return of international cricket and one man's road to recovery

We travel to Southampton where England face the West Indies

We go live to Southampton where it is day four of the first test match between England and the West Indies. It has been four months without International cricket and we bring you the latest action from our team who are at the ground.

It’s not just listening to cricket that has made a welcome return this week, in the next few hours cricketers up and down the UK will be pulling on their whites for the first time as they are allowed to play for the first time and we hear from one of the players.

In January, Mose Masoe, a Samoan Rugby international, was playing in a pre-season friendly match for his team Hull KR and went into a tackle awkwardly. When he woke up he couldn’t feel his legs and told he would never walk again. Fast forward 6 months and he has taken his first steps. We caught up with him and his wife Carissa, who’s about to give birth to their third child.

The European PGA tour got underway this week and we hear from caddie Ollie Briggs on what it is like returning to the golf course.

A club in Lesotho has become the first top flight football club to announce equal budgets for its women’s and men’s football teams. Puky Ramokwoatsi is the manager of the women's team and shares her story of how she became involved with the club.

How will you remember this year in sport? Instead of focusing on what we’ve not seen, we meet someone who shows us what we’re missing. Laurence Griffiths is a Getty images sports photographer.
