Retirement
After retirement from first-class cricket, Randall coached numerous school and university sides, among many other projects. He coached Cambridge University and Bedford School; when Alastair Cook came through the School's First XI, Randall recommended that the youngster be picked for the ECB National Academy. He also coached Bedfordshire in the Minor County Championship. The 'Derek Randall Suite' at Trent Bridge is named in his honour. Randall is still playing for Matlock Cricket Club.
His books include The Young Player's Guide to Cricket and his autobiography, The Sun Has Got His Hat On.
