Marnus Dropped, Stokes to the BBL & Root Embarassed

Menners and Damian Watson are back, covering Australia’s disappointing Test series draw with Bangladesh and what comes next for Marnus Labuschagne. They discuss Australia’s ODI squad ahead of the 2027 World Cup, the emergence of Ollie Peake and Joel Davies, Pat Cummins’ captaincy and the injury blow to South Africa with Kagiso Rabada set to miss the upcoming series. The boys then turn their attention to England’s latest drama, with Brydon Carse’s nightclub incident raising questions about the culture of the England team, before discussing the huge news that Ben Stokes will play the full Big Bash season with the Adelaide Strikers. Plus, changes to Shield cricket and domestic pitches, Cricket Australia’s transgender participation policy, more chaos from Pakistan, Whateley’s return to Fox Cricket and the European T20 Premier League.
