Daren Mootoo
England has concluded its white ball tour of the West Indies with the fifth and final T20 in St Lucia being washed out. Next up, a Test series against New Zealand who just whitewashed India in their own back yard.
35 England players are in the IPL auction for the 2025 edition and there is some surprising news emerging…we delve into it. And the first batch of county fixtures for 2025 are out; we take a look at how The T20 Blast will be shaping up.
Special guest this week is Lawrence Booth, editor of Wisden’s Almanac, the bible of cricket and we shall be looking ahead to England’s trip to the Southern Hemisphere and examining how “Bazball” is evolving. We also discuss how the arrival of big business into the domestic game will affect county cricket. Lawrence also talks about the weight of responsibility editing such a venerable institution.
