The recently-retired Alex Gidman gives DEC an exclusive insight into the life of a man post-cricket, having played for Gloucestershire and Worcestershire in a county career lasting 14 years. I recall sitting in a dressing room, probably 11/12 years ago thinking that ‘that day would never come’. That day being the day I retire from cricket. Like all sportsmen or women I felt indestructible and that, like Peter Pan, I would never get old. Time flies. It literally has gone in the blink of an eye.
