James Buttler is joined regular fan badger Neil Virani to speak to Robbie Millar, a Lecturer in Sport Business Management in the Academy of Sport and Physical Activity at Sheffield Hallam University.

The discussion centres around money in English county cricket. Where does it come from? Are the 18 counties financially sustainable? What does The Hundred bring to the counties and ECB? What are the opportunities of The Hundred deal and from private equity ownership in professional team sport? What does that deal mean for county cricket?

They also broaden the discussion out to the world game and the sustainability of international cricket, particularly Tests.
