Former Somerset captain Ben was in charge, with his wife Belinda and son Tim key players in the magazine's history.

[3] Andrew Miller joined as editor in January 2012, with former Nottinghamshire cricketer Andy Afford appointed as publishing director.

Afford soon took on the role of managing director and when Miller departed, Simon Hughes, a former Middlesex and Durham bowler, and Channel 4's The Analyst, became the title's editor-at-large from 1 September 2014.

Supporting the appointment of Hughes, Alec Swann joined as head of editorial planning and production after four-and-a-half years with the Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph.
