Growing up on the island of Trinidad during the 1980s, I dreamt of being the next Viv Richards. I also harboured hopes of being a jockey. Both cricket and horse racing captivated me as a child, and I hoped and prayed that one day I would be thrilling crowds with either a flashing blade or by riding a winner. Sadly, I soon realised my sporting limitations, but I'm extremely fortunate to be working as a sports broadcaster with the BBC. Over the next year I'll have the privilege of reporting from a number of major sporting events in the UK. I hope you enjoy my take on them.You can stay up to date with Rishi Persad via these feeds.
