Ex-England cricketer Chris Lewis on life after prison

This time last year, former England cricketer Chris Lewis was in prison, where he was serving time for trying to smuggle cocaine into the UK from St Lucia.

Since coming out of jail in June, he has taken on the role of advising young cricketers about the perils of life after cricket.

The former Leicestershire bowler spoke about how important it is to deal with life after sport. He said: "Whatever sport you are in, there is going to be a transition period. You’re going to have to get used to life afterwards, that’s better done sooner rather than later."
