After IPL auctioneer Hugh Edmeades collapsed on the first day of the IPL mega auction our very own Charu Sharma stepped in to take over. Charu tells Alison Mitchell and Jim Maxwell all about the experience. Plus we debate which teams came out on top, how the new franchises will fare and why some players weren't selected.

Australia World Cup and Ashes winner Alex Blackwell joins us to discuss her new book Fair Game which outlines the battles she faced on and off the cricket pitch as the first openly gay Australian female player.

And we hear the first part of our interview with Pakistan Women’s ODI captain Bismah Maroof. She tells us about returning to captain the national side for the Women’s World Cup after becoming a mother and the importance of being role models to young Pakistan women.
