In this deeply moving episode, Alex Carey and Mitch Starc open up like never before. We explore what family truly means to them. While Alex takes us inside fatherhood as a professional cricketer and Mitch shares what family life looks like when your partner is also a professional cricketer (Onya Skipper!)
Training ramps up as Alex and Mitch Starc prepare for the Ashes, and then things get raw. Alex lets us into a profoundly intimate moment — as he navigates the toughest of times with his dad, reflecting on the man who helped him chase his cricketing dream. It’s emotional, heartfelt and real — a reminder of the people and love that shape every athlete’s journey.
It’s not just cricket — it’s life, mateship, the game that they play and the people that they love.
