Sheridon Gumbs spent five years in the academy at Surrey [Leicestershire CCC]Every ball counts. It is a slogan made for The Hundred competition - the pyrotechnic-charged, music-pumping version of cricket bankrolled by billionaires.It is a world away from what you get on the fringes of the professional game, where first-class cricket meets well-manicured English village grounds that so often host second XI matches.At least, you would think so.For some, playing for the 'twos' is a tightrope cricketing existence and a last shot at trying to make it as a professional. Every ball really could count.But unlike The Hundred, where top earner Harry Brook will pocket 465,000 for a month's work, some second XI players on trial runs with County Championship sides are rocking up to play in matches on the UK daily minimum wage of just over 100, with a little more on top for expenses.That's what it was like for Sheridon Gumbs as he toiled day-to-day, game-by-game trying to prove himself at Leicestershire during a trial period that spanned a season and a half.For 18 months there was no contract, just that day rate, as the former Surrey youngster and England Under-19 international tried to piece together a career with a hit and hope attitude."You don't have that safety net because coaches are under no obligation to let you know how you're getting on or how you're sizing up to be part of that first team," the 22-year-old told BBC Sport."To me, it was go to training and if you're picked, rock up, try your best, try to perform and just take it and play it by ear."Yeah, 18 months is a long time, but you've just got to trust it. "Nothing easy is worth having and it's professional sport - it's not meant to be easy. It's cut-throat. "So if you really want it, then go out and get it. It's a gamble, I guess."Sheridon Gumbs travelled to Australia to play for England Under-19s in 2023 [Getty Images]But there is a reason Gumbs stuck at it with the East Midlands side when rival County Championship clubs began to show interest in him and why that gamble would eventually pay off.It was just days before the lucrative Hundred competition started last week that Gumbs' willingness to persevere was rewarded with a three-and-a-half-year deal at Leicestershire."There were a lot of people last year that sort of said 'what's going on'? Gumbs recalled. "I was putting runs on the board, having a lot of success and people were like, 'oh, Leicestershire are messing you around, this, that and the other'."But I had nothing, I almost felt in debt to Leicestershire. They reached me out of this hole and granted me this opportunity."A succession of setbacks as a teenager meant Gumbs almost gave up on his career before it ever really got going.He was released by Surrey just months after returning from Australia where he played for the England Under-19 team in 2023. A trial run at Hampshire followed - but ended after just a few matches.And at that point, he even thought about dropping out of Loughborough University the one place he wanted to study sports management because it is the home of the national cricket performance centre."I almost put cricket to bed after that, because at the back of my mind I was thinking, almost as an excuse, what more could I have done or shown?" Gumbs said."I obviously wasn't getting any sort of results anywhere."Cricket's a very mental sport and I think having that break and realising that I essentially owe it to myself to pursue it as a career and keep going, keep knocking on doors, has helped me in the long run."Gumbs signs long-term Leicestershire contactListen to BBC Radio Leicester's Talking Foxes podcastGumbs' older brother Shelvin, an all-rounder that had trial spells with the second XI teams at Hampshire and Middlesex in the past, came up with much-needed encouragement at the time.Crucially, he also helped get his sibling a shot with Leicestershire - with Foxes second XI coach Dips Patel being a former team-mate of Shelvin's at Loughborough Town."I won't be naive, I know I was very lucky with the opportunity that Dips granted me by contacting my brother because getting a chance of second XI cricket to start with is very hard," Gumbs said."There's got to be a gap in a team and you've almost got to have a bit of luck and be in the right place at the right time."Gumbs grinned as he recalled the approach from Patel being a "kick in the bum" that helped him get "switched back on".All the latest Leicestershire CCC newsPatel had watched Gumbs years earlier as a junior, training in the nets with his father Wilson, and had long tracked his career.He knew what player he was potentially recruiting.The challenge was getting Gumbs to stand out in what he freely admits can be a "manic" environment - where players on trial are thrust into a team alongside academy youngsters trying to pick their way up the ranks, and established County Championship players who may be in the second XI to regain fitness or form."There's a lot of emotions and there's a lot of different characters in that dressing room which you have to try to manage," Patel said."It can be a selfish environment because, in a sense, you are playing for someone's job aren't you? "Every trialist that walks through the door will have players on tenterhooks and thinking 'oh my God, he could take my spot here'. And it's all right being under that pressure, because that is what professional sport is about."It's about giving them opportunities. You just have to be a coach and dad to everyone, and just be very straight with them."And while Gumbs piled on the runs almost from the get-go,his is a story of persistence as much as potential - and Patel knows it."Sheridan is a rare story for the fact he stuck with it for so long," Patel said."I've seen lads like him, who come out of an academy and are playing for the second team, and then all of sudden they are not given a deal and they throw it all away."But it is understandable because they've got to go out into the world, earn money, and get a proper job."James Taylor (right) is an assistant coach at Leicestershire and someone that will work closely with Gumbs [Shutterstock]Gumbs, whose only previous experience of first-team cricket came in a brief One-Day Cup spell with Surrey in 2022, finally got his chance to call cricket his job when handed a one-month deal with Leicestershire earlier this season.He scored 49 in his second innings on his first-class debut for Leicestershire against Essex in June, then a week later he went on to play a part in the Foxes' milestone victory - their first in the top flight for 8,318 days - against Yorkshire.While Gumbs' trial period may seem exceptionally long, it is not necessarily unusual - with Kashif Ali previously outlining he did "four or five years" of trials across a number of counties before establishing himself at Worcestershire.Even Essex pace bowler Jamie Porter worked as a recruitment consultant while he played for the club's second XI when his early career stalled. And he has gone on to take 592 first-class wickets and counting across a 12-year career.Patel does not hesitate when saying he sees a "15-year career" in Gumbs' future.And Leicestershire director of cricket Claude Henderson and head coach Alfonso Thomas have invested in that possibility, handing the top-order batter a deal that will run until the winter of 2029.Patel says Gumbs should no longer feel as if "he is walking on eggshells" when he now "has a job to do".'A melting pot' where Gumbs found 'belief' In recent years, the Professional Cricketers' Association (PCA) has worked with first-class counties to establish guidelines around the low-paid, high-stakes working environment that second XI trialists deal with.Before 2021, there was no obligation for clubs to pay trialists when they featured. Previously, the opportunity and hope that came from a game at that level was seen as enough.An element of that still exists, with players not being paid for the first five days of a trial - which ensures not every chance taken to look at fresh talent has to be budgeted for.Rich Hudson, PCA director of cricket operations, described second XI cricket as a "melting pot of different people, dynamics and tensions"."You've got the pro trying to get himself back into form or come back from injury, and you've got the young kid in the academy who's desperately trying to prove he's worth a contract and learn his way and then there is the Sheridon-type player who is fighting for his life to get another contract and prove himself," Hudson said."We also understand the financial pressures of the game, which means that decision makers are constantly having to make calls that come with natural tension between doing what's right to support people in that environment and high-performance success, where the first team needs to be performing in the Championship and the T20 Blast."And with Leicestershire's support, Gumbs says he is once again dreaming about what he can deliver as a cricketer."Making my Blast debut and just being in and around the lads, training in that sort of T20 environment, I 100% think there is going to be a push with my white-ball cricket and I want to see how far I go with that," he added."With the red ball, I want to wear the England badge again."My brother's always said, 'you're never that far away', but I've always thought on the flip side and almost thought, I'm miles away."This contract, and everything else that comes with it, is big and Leicestershire have granted me that sort of belief that maybe I'm not that far away whatsoever."

Carlisle United have signed Fleetwood Town defender Toby Mullarkey on loan until January.The defender played 27 games for the Lancashire club in League Two last season, having joined from Crawley Town where he worked under Carlisle's new head coach Rob Elliot.Mullarkey, 30, is the sixth player signed by the Blues this summer as they prepare for a second National League season."To join a team that's expected to be up there and winning is something I'm looking forward to," he told Carlisle's website.

It was a decision that ultimately paid off for Tank Lawrence, after he got his hands on the Lombardi trophy following years of pain with the Cowboys.The Seahawks will be looking to join the elite club of going back-to-back, as Mike Macdonald has added to his Dark Side defense with the arrival of the NFL veteran, Fowler.Seattles defense was arguably the best in the league last season, and retaining Lawrence whilst adding Fowler will only encourage fans in the Pacific Northwest.After leaving the Cowboys last year, Lawrence aimed a clear dig at his former team, and Fowler has seemingly done the same in his latest trip to the podium during Seattles training camp.Photo by Ian Maule/Getty ImagesWhat DeMarcus Lawrence said about the Dallas Cowboys after joining the Seattle SeahawksThe arrival of Lawrence up in Seattle sparked a famous interview with one of the beat reporters in the Pacific Northwest.Speaking to Hawkblogger, Tank Lawrence said: Dallas is my home. I made my home there, my family lives there, and Im forever going to be there. But I know for sure Im not going to win a Super Bowl there.It may have been a spikey answer back in March, 2025, but it ultimately proved to be correct as Lawrence lifted the Super Bowl less than a year later.Clearly, there is a trend growing of veteran defensive players making the move from the Cowboys to Seattle.Dante Fowler issues subtle dig at Dallas Cowboys after Seattle Seahawks moveFowler spoke to the Seattle media on Monday following the latest practice session at the VMAC.When asked about the elite defense put together by coach Macdonald and defensive coordinator Aden Durde, Fowler likened them to some of his former teams.I love it. Just being a part of a lot of great pass-rushing groups, it reminds me of when I was with the Jacksonville Jaguars, or when I was playing with the Rams or the Commanders, he said.We have really good interior guys, and great edge-rush guys that can get after the quarterback.Notably, Fowler did not mention the Cowboys despite spending three years in Dallas over two stints in his career.Fowler was able to claim 15 sacks during his time with the Cowboys, but his standout seasons were with the Los Angeles Rams, Washington Commanders, and the Jaguars.Ironically, the Seahawks play the Cowboys in the first of the preseason games next month, but it is unlikely the veteran will make an appearance on the line of scrimmage at AT&T Stadium.Read more:Tampa Bay Buccaneers DT Vita Vea looking to join West Coast NFL teams after trade requestHe doesnt care Joe Burrows ex-teammate calls out Ryan Clarks fake act after ESPN sackingHes already done Philadelphia Eagles fans pick up on miserable AJ Brown during Patriots camp
