Available for over a year

Former England spinner Graeme Swann says James Taylor's early retirement from cricket is “horrifically unfair”, considering how physically fit he was throughout his career. England and Nottinghamshire batsman Taylor has been forced to retire because of a serious heart condition. Scans have shown that Taylor, 26, has a condition similar to the one that affected footballer Fabrice Muamba. "You see him in the gym, he's ripped to shreds. It's horrifically unfair," Swann told Mark Chapman on 5 live Sport. ѿý's cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew added: "He's probably the fittest member of the England team." This clip is from 5 live Sport on Tuesday 12 April 2016.
