About the episode
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. *** Ashes Diaries release schedule. Subscribe to the Howie Games feed so you don't miss an episode!
