Why Fabian Cowdrey Retired at 24 - AOC Podcast Episode 9

Fabian opens up about his mental health, why he retired at 24, and his career as a life coach

Fabian Cowdrey was born into cricketing royalty. On his Kent debut, before he’d faced a single ball, Fabian received a standing ovation from a packed house at Canterbury. Many of those fans were seated in a stand named after his grandfather Colin. Like his grandfather and his father Chris Cowdrey, Fabian wanted to captain England.

Three years later, however, aged just 24, Fabian announced his retirement from all forms of cricket. Fabian joins us to talk about his battles with mental health, and why he walked away from cricket.
