This is Through the Pickets, a podcast proudly brought to you by the New Zealand Cricket Players Association where we showcase our members interests, achievements and experiences either side of the white picket fence, with more of a lens on their off-field endeavours.

Today’s episode features a man who played for New Zealand at the U19 Cricket World Cup in 2012 and has scored over 3000 runs for Auckland and taken over 200 catches behind the Stumps. He is an accomplished ball room dancer and chess player, and when he’s not doing all this Ben Horne is a consultant for a recruitment company.
