Ben Duckett talks Stokes's 'beast mode', McCullum's winning mindset & Heals's first Ashes Test XI
About this episode
Ben Duckett joins Alyssa Healy and Adam Peacock ahead of next week’s Ashes to chat about the preparation of the English side. Duckett describes the intense training and the “beast mode” that Ben Stokes is currently in, how Brendon McCullum has made him feel comfortable in the side, and the reaction when they found out about Cummins, as well as the fiery series between India and England. Plus, Heals names her XI for next week in Perth with a few big calls, we look at the first round of the WBBL, and Heals has to respond to a few pot shots from Harris and Devine!
