At the weekend, Sky News broke the story of a suggested £400 million bid by Bridgepoint for a 75% stake in The Hundred. We’re joined by Huw Turbervill, editor of The Cricketer to discuss the possible ramifications of such a bid and would it mean a huge windfall for the first class counties? We also talk about England’s crowded schedule as they prepare for their first Test match in Pakistan for seventeen years and wonder whether 17 year-old Rehan Ahmed will become England’s youngest-ever Test player. We also look at the December and the Christmas editions of Huw’s excellent magazine, which includes David Gower chatting to Gary Lineker.
First broadcast on Tuesday, 29th. November.
