Email Agent of Sir Andrew Strauss

Andrew Strauss is a former England cricket captain, commentator and speaker who has become a powerful advocate for mental health. Following a celebrated sporting career, he experienced personal loss and life transitions that shaped his passion for wellbeing and resilience. Today, he uses his platform to raise awareness, share his experiences and support others. Andrew’s authenticity, leadership and openness make him a compelling speaker on both performance and mental health.

Andrew Strauss enjoyed a distinguished cricketing career, representing England in 100 Test matches and captaining the national team to two Ashes victories. His leadership on the pitch earned him recognition as one of the country’s most successful cricket captains. After retiring, he transitioned into broadcasting and administration, becoming Director of Cricket for the England and Wales Cricket Board.

His personal life was marked by profound challenge when his wife, Ruth, passed away from a rare form of lung cancer in 2018. In her memory, Andrew established the Ruth Strauss Foundation, which supports families facing bereavement and funds research into non-smoking lung cancers. This work brought him into the heart of the mental health conversation, as he spoke openly about grief, resilience and the importance of support networks.

Andrew was knighted in 2019 for services to sport and charity, recognising both his achievements on the field and his impact through the Ruth Strauss Foundation. Today, he is a sought-after speaker who blends lessons from elite sport with deeply personal insights into wellbeing and coping with adversity.

Andrew Strauss has authored cricket memoirs and is a regular commentator for Sky Sports. His work with the Ruth Strauss Foundation has been widely covered in national media, highlighting his role as both a sportsman and mental health advocate.

“I just wanted to say thank you for your presentation at our management conference and also for staying around for ‘Escape the Box’. It was a really interesting presentation and it certainly reinforced quite a few things for me that I know we’ve not been good at which includes the constant checking/measurement against your strategic objectives. From a personal point of view I was very interested in the ongoing efforts to make sure we are meeting all our targets in advance of next year and the importance of certain measures. I also did a fair amount of checking with our international colleagues during the rest of the day and night and they were all very complimentary and didn’t at all feel a lack of understanding of cricket hindered their enjoyment of your presentation. Thanks again.” – Ross, Perform Group
