Former tennis player Laura Robson may cover cricket: details of the unexpected contract.

According to The Sun: Former tennis player Laura Robson has received an offer from TNT Sport to cover cricket.

Robson, who is 31, is already actively working in broadcasting with TNT and Sky Sports after retiring from tennis in 2022.

She may now take on a reporter role during this year's Ashes in Australia. It is known that TNT is offering her to work on-site during this series of matches, although a final decision has not yet been made.

According to The Guardian, former England cricket legend Sir Alastair Cook may also join the TNT team. He, a two-time Ashes winner, plans to work in the studio in the UK and does not intend to travel to Australia with the BBC’s Test Match Special.

Laura Robson has strong ties to Australia, as she was born in Melbourne to Australian parents and moved to England at the age of six.

She was the junior Wimbledon champion and a silver Olympic medalist in mixed doubles. Not long ago, she covered the US Open on Sky.

During her tennis career, Robson managed to reach the fourth round at Wimbledon and the US Open. She ended her career in 2022 at the age of only 28 after a long struggle with wrist and hip injuries.

The news of Laura Robson's offer from TNT Sport indicates her successful transition from tennis to sports journalism. This step could mark a new phase in her career, as the prospect of being a reporter at major sporting events like the Ashes opens up new opportunities and challenges in the world of cricket.
