Paul had an international career with England playing in 13 Test matches and 13 one-day internationals.
After retiring from the game he entered the world of the media, joining SKY TV as a commentator alongside other commentary team regulars David Lloyd, Ian Botham, David Gower and Nasser Hussain.
Paul left his job as a commentator for Sky Sports to become director of cricket at Lancashire for the 2018 season a position he held until the end of the 2021 season.
