Hugo Hammond's cricket career

Hugo played cricket for England PD (Physical Disability).

Speaking about his former career, he said: "I’ve been to Bangladesh, Dubai, I’ve been everywhere to play cricket. I was born with clubfoot. I had lots of operations when I was a kid. You can only really tell when I walk barefoot. I’ve got a really short achilles heel. I walk slightly on my tip toes."

What is Hugo's job?

Currently, Hugo works as a PE teacher in a secondary school.

Speaking about his work here, Hugo said: "Absolutely love my job. I love all my sports. It’s great to be able to pass on that enthusiasm to be physically active to the younger generation and hopefully they feel the same about me teaching them."

He added: "Being a teacher in lockdown, I found myself being a bit of a budget Joe Wicks in front of a camera. Different home workouts and things like that."
