From club cricket to the IPL dream

On this week’s episode, Alison Mitchell, Charu Sharma and Jim Maxwell discuss the fall-out from the fifth Test between England and India. The match was called off just two hours before the scheduled start of play due to Covid concerns in the India camp. Plus they speak with Punjab Kings and Australia bowler Nathan Ellis, whose remarkable two-year journey from playing club cricket continues with the chance to play in the Indian Premier League, which resumes in the UAE. The team also hear from Tuba Sangar, who up until just a couple of weeks ago was the women's development manager for the Afghanistan Cricket Board. She tells the team about the future of women’s cricket in Afghanistan, and what it was like leaving her home and her job behind.
