Ajinkya Rahane on retiring and captaining India | The Furnace with Alex Hartley and Scott Edwards

He captained India more than once. Scott Edwards captains a country where half the squad has a day job. Two captains from opposite ends of world cricket sit down with Alex Hartley for the first episode of The Furnace, the Amsterdam Flames podcast. Ajinkya Rahane has led India. Scott Edwards has led the Netherlands to two World Cup wins over South Africa. Alex Hartley won a World Cup with England at 23 and was out of the picture by 26. What the three of them have in common is the thing this club is named after: all of them have been written off, and all of them came back. In this episode they talk about the phone calls nobody films, what you actually do the night after you've been left out, and the part of a comeback that never makes the highlights. Plus what captaincy costs when a billion people are watching — and what it costs when nobody is.
