About Angus

Angus Bell is an award-winning author, public speaker and researcher living in Canada. In 2006, he authored the international best-selling travelogue, Batting On The Bosphorus  (also titled Batting In The Baltic and Slogging The Slavs), which recounted his 8,000-mile journey around Eastern Europe, meeting the world’s strangest cricket teams. The book was published in five continents and narrated on BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week. He became the first person to hit a cricket ball between continents, smacking the Istanbul cricket captain from Europe into Asia. Eight years later, Tiger Woods copied the idea.

His newest book, The Lost Boys (released September 2026), is an explosive and heart-breaking memoir on the horrors of an elite British boarding school throughout the 1990s, and his decades-long quest for justice, recovery, public awareness and educational reform. His public campaign created international media shockwaves, and resulted in a landmark legal victory.

He has appeared on BBC World, NPR, CBC, SABC, CTV, CityTV, GlobalTV, Voice of America, Radio-Canada, and written for the South African Sunday Times, The Times, The Guardian, Wisden, Inside Sport, ESPNCricinfo, and numerous other international publications.

He runs Pirates of the St Lawrence, the most multi-cultural cricket club in the world and once captained the Canadian Parliament to a ridiculous victory by the barest of margins.
