Kicker - A life lived to the full

NICK EICHER, HOST: Eileen Ash just celebrated a milestone birthday. And as those who know her would tell you, she just might be the world’s most interesting woman.

Ash played international cricket for England for 12 years. She also worked for MI6, the British spy agency, for 11 years, during and after World War II.

And as recently as last year, a yoga teacher.

ASH: Slide forward so you’re up, down on your tummy. That’s it.

In 2019, Lord’s Cricket Ground recognized her as the oldest living international cricketer.

That’s important because the birthday she celebrated was her 110th.

It’s The World and Everything in It.
