Episode Notes
Neil Manthorp is joined by the former England fast bowler Steve Harmison to preview England's upcoming ODI series against India, discuss who should be England's next Test captain, and they look back at the Women's T20 World Cup Final. Plus, they are joined on the show by Broadcaster Behram Qazi to discuss Babar Azam being reappointed as Pakistan's Test captain and to look ahead to their Test series against England. Is Jacob Bethell's move to open in ODI Cricket good for his career, and should he replicate that in the Test game? Will Harry Brook be the next England captain, or will Joe Root be appointed as an interim until the end of the Ashes? Will whoever is Head Coach influence who takes the armband going forward?
