Will Bangladesh reap rewards despite not hosting ICC Women’s T20 World Cup?

Stumped

Available for over a year

Alison Mitchell is alongside Charu Sharma and Jim Maxwell to discuss the effects on women’s cricket in Bangladesh, with the country not hosting the Women’s ICC T20 World Cup. Bangladesh cricket writer Tawhid Qureshi gives his thoughts on how the domestic game in Bangladesh would have benefited from the spotlight that hosting a World Cup brings, and how Bangladeshi players need more pathways to the professional game. Ali, Jim & Charu reflect on Joe Root becoming England’s men’s leading run-scorer in Tests and on his compatriot Harry Brook scoring a triple century in the first Test in Multan against Pakistan. Plus, they find out more about cricket’s inventors and innovators by talking to Stuart Robertson – the inventor of T20 cricket.
