Coaching Bethell and a rare Lord's double

Former Warwickshire captain Michael Powell, head of cricket at Rugby School, has played a major role in developing England stars Jacob Bethell and Maia Bouchier.

Here, he discusses their success, his passion for helping to make Rugby a regular venue for his old county, and how the private sector can help to revive cricket in state schools.
