🇺🇦🏏 | My book 'GETTING OUT: The Ukrainian Cricket Team's Last Stand on the Front Lines of War' is the story of some tough and eccentric sportspeople – and how they saved many of those around them from Russia's invasion in 2022. Details | Where to buy 💙📚 ⬇️ www.pitchpublishing.co.uk/shop/getting-out

This thing seems to be out in the open now, so even though publication’s eight months away, let’s drum up some early interest, shall we? Wayfarers is out next April. Here’s the cover.

Nightfaring by @meganeaves.com is such a wonderful, beautiful read. I want to read it all at once but also not finish it too soon.

Broke: Quantum of Solace. Woke: Cruyff turn of Tzolis. #ARSCOV #ARSvCOV ⚽️

England's Test opening bowlers are Jofra Archer and Ollie Robinson. Henry Crocombe was in the last squad. Sarah Taylor, Carl Hopkinson among the coaches. James Coles in the ODI squad. Mike Yardy coaches the U19s. Tom Haines captains the Lions. And the ECB still chooses to dismantle Sussex. #ENGvPAK

Next week I take my unfit 41-year-old body to the World Nomad Games in Kyrgyzstan, to take on Asia's strongest wrestlers at a sport I began practicing last Monday. Connect with me on Instagram to follow my (mis)adventures representing Great Britain at "Alysh": www.instagram.com/jonathancamp...

Another summer, another sporting (mis)adventure: Next month I'll be competing in a Kyrgyz belt wrestling ('Alysh') tournament at the World Nomad Games in Kyrgyzstan. I have never done anything even remotely like this before. 📚 Not unrelatedly, I will hopefully have another book out next year!

Tentatively setting up an Insta account for my World Nomad Games adventure in Kyrgyzstan. Give me a follow? www.instagram.com/jonathancamp...

You call it the transfer window. I call it "very rich people making terrible house moves": Goodbye Athens, Paris, northern Spain and Bologna; hello Hull, the middle of Saudi Arabia, Moscow and Watford!

Getting there.

Feels a bit lame writing posts like this, but here goes: @sweeperpod.bsky.social, could you possibly follow me so I can send you a DM?

What a photo! A female Amur tiger is released into the wild in Kazakhstan.

Let's see what Fifa come back with now but this is a stunning move from Uefa. Plenty of concerns that smaller countries would choose Infantino's $$ but he has taken a massive blow here. Feeling this is only the start of the story: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Do I know anyone who plays cricket in the Netherlands? I am planning on playing some matches there in August (in snazzy @hellobuglers.bsky.social kit)

🇨🇻 🇨🇱🧤 Cape Verde’s heroic goalkeeper Vozinha has joined Chilean giant Colo-Colo. Clearly a massive moment for one of the figures of the 2026 World Cup!

Think I'll stick to the home shirt this year.

It's after 7pm in New York. Donald Trump is still holding the World Cup trophy, rambling. For 38 minutes he has insulted every Spanish person, most of Argentina, telenovelas, Iran, and Shakira. Rodri stands next to him, still empty-handed, awkward in a MAGA cap, as the last fans leave the stadium.

Last time I saw a Brar this expensive was in Victoria's Secret. #ENGvIND 🏏

I assume I'm already in the middle class hall of fame, but just to make sure, today I said quite loudly to my 5 y/o, in the middle of Norwich's M&S: "I thought the idea was you didn't want sea bass this evening?"

I'm very grateful to Wanderlust Magazine for putting NIGHTFARING on their list of the best travel books of 2026! www.wanderlustmagazine.com/inspiration/...

🇵🇪🤝🇳🇴 Haaland 🫶🏻 Perú 563 new born Peruvians have been named after ‘el Androide’. And that must be just the start: how many more children born the next few months will be added to the list?! 🥰 Still, better than Unión Comercio’s defender Osama Vinladen Jiménez! 😳

Has been a genuine career highlight to work on this with Chris Woakes - World Cup wins, Ashes battles, the greats he's played with and against, and plenty of behind-the-scenes material you won't get anywhere else. Out in October, pre-order below 👇 www.penguin.co.uk/books/485021...

I'm hearing that the hospital in Mexico City has also made some calls to Gianni Infantino, in a bid to overturn Jordan Henderson's broken wrist. "We confirm this is true", a FIFA source has commented. "But our decision to repair the fractured bones of certain players has nothing to do with this."

I wrote about birds. Again. This month, I go off piste and write about the avian wonders of the Venetian lagoon, including terns, swifts, black-winged stilts and bin chickens – and, for paying subscribers, a bonus wol.
