Ben Stephens - Founder 

Piri Piri Cricket Academy was founded by Ben Stephens in 2009 after recognising a demand for quality professional cricket coaching in his local area, Essex. 
 
Ben is well placed to deliver extensive cricket training having journeyed through the Essex county junior set up himself. He then moved onto become a minor county cricket player, an overseas club pro in New Zealand, and currently a proud playing member of the MCC.  
 
Ben's role as Executive Director at The R66T Academy enhances a budding relationship between the two academies. Piri Piri Cricket is an associated development Hub with The R66T Academy.
