Geoff Miller is quite simply one of the most respected figures in English cricket. After an accomplished playing career with his native Derbyshire, Essex and, of course, at Test level with England, he became the first man to hold the chief position of National Selector when the ECB shelved the equivalent role of Chairman of Selectors in 2008.

Over the following five years, Geoff’s wise selection policy and choices led England on an incredible run of three successive Ashes victories and to the pinnacle of the world Test rankings before he finally retired in late 2013. His success in this role, and the contribution he made to English cricket as a player, was swiftly recognised when he awarded Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2014 New Year’s Honours List.

Geoff Miller OBE has been there and done it. Playing with and against many of the most talented players in history, he is never short of an amusing story about what went on in touring parties and on the domestic scene – a quality that saw him voted Sporting Speaker of the Year in both 2013 and 2014 and Cricket Speaker of the Year for the past 4 years.
