England’s Ashes pace attack, Katherine Sciver-Brunt’s international retirement and is club cricket too expensive?

Following the news of Jofra Archer’s IPL withdrawal and the uncertainty around Olly Stone’s fitness, the panel of Phil Walker, Ben Gardner, Katya Witney and Yas Rana wonder what the make-up of England’s pace attack is likely to look like for this summer’s Ashes series. The panel also celebrate the careers of Katherine Sciver-Brunt and Shabnim Ismail, both of whom announced their retirements from the international game in the last week. There’s chat on the latest round of the County Championship, the relationship English cricket fans have with the IPL and interviews with Lancashire batter Josh Bohannon on going up a gear in 2023 and with Tara Norris on an eventful winter. There’s also some discussion on the recreational game and what barriers exist for new players to get involved.
