On the plus side, Lintott’s enforced time off the field at Edgbaston has also helped him branch out into a temporary return to coaching.
He has been working with fellow left-arm ‘wristie’ Millie Taylor, who will be part of new women’s first-team coach Alistair Maiden’s newly-created Warwickshire side, ahead of their debut season in the new professional structure.
“I asked Ali Maiden if there were any opportunities to come in and coach on a voluntary basis, as it something I wanted to get onto my CV – and it just happened that the club had signed at the club signed a left-arm wrist spinner from Sussex and I’ve been working with Millie,” Lintott said.
“It has been really nice seeing her grow throughout that time as she puts more trust in me. And I’ve been on her journey. I know what it’s like when you first start.
“I was lucky that a post came up at my old school, Queen’s College, Taunton, just at about the time when I was starting to think about a career outside cricket about the age of 23 when it wasn’t really working out.
“I worked there for three years during which time they still gave me the flexibility to have trials with other counties and eventually it paid off.
“But it’s really rewarding coaching. I first felt it when I was coaching at the school and when you see someone score a 100 and you feel you’ve helped achieve that and they come to you and thank you, that’s a special feeling.”
