Test captain Ben Stokes explains why 18-year-old leg spinner Rehan Ahmed has been called up to the squad, whilst Jofra Archer discusses his return to action for the first time in 18 months. They also discuss reports a private equity firm is interested in buying a 75% stake in The Hundred, and what that means for the competition, and will Joe Root be picked up in the IPL? We discuss the reports he's put his name forward for the competition. And the former England bowler Liam Plunkett joins us to discuss the launch of Major League Cricket in the USA, and the growth of the game across the pond. Hosted on Acast.
