Ath and Nas are joined by Simon Doull on the latest episode of the Sky Sports Cricket Podcast.
They give their reaction to the news that Stephen Fleming has been named as England's men's Test side head coach and that Joe Root has been reappointed as its captain.
They discuss what Fleming will bring to the role, why Harry Brook wasn't picked as the new captain and whether Ben Stokes could be tempted into a return to the side.
