Popular commentator Mark Howard has revealed he will disappear from the AFL coverage midway through the season for a new gig.
Howard is the lead presenter for Fox Sports’ cricket coverage in the summer and a regular AFL commentator on Fox and Triple M radio during the winter.“Have you been picked up by for the next IPL?” his colleague Jason Dunstall asked.
Commentator and podcaster Mark Howard will travel to India to cover the Indian Premier League. Picture: Brett CostelloHoward confirmed he would be travelling to India and missing some of their show, prompting some light-hearted banter from his co-worker. “He is taking the money to go to the IPL and torching us! How do you explain that Mark,” Dunstall said.“I was privileged to be asked to go to the IPL for an extended period of time and our fantastic boss at Fox Cricket Steve Crawley said I think it’s a good opportunity,” he said.Dunstall wasn’t ready to let his co-host off the hook just yet however, and asked whether Howard had told his Triple M boss he was heading off for a few weeks midway through the footy season.
“I asked him. How can you turn this into negative? I’ve been asked to commentate on the biggest cricket tournament in the world,” Howard replied.The exchange was all in very good humour with the conversation moving on soon after. Howard is one of the country’s leading sports broadcasters and also hosts several shows, including his podcast Howie Games, which is regularly among the most popular sports podcasts in Australia.
