English Test cricket sees itself in a dire need of a rebuild after the post-Ashes reset has failed and cost the dressing room its captain. But what comes next? What even was Bazball?

England take on India in a 5-match T2o series ahead of three ODIs

What a rollercoaster this Test was. Not only have New Zealand taken their first Test series of three or more tests victory in England since 1999 and England have lost their first Test series of three or more tests at home since 2012, but Ben Stokes departed from International cricket, effective immediately.

We'll talk through all that and more in the third test review from the Crowe-Thorpe Trophy England vs New Zealand Test series.

As we come to the end of the group stage of the ICC 2026 T20 Women's World Cup, we look back over the performances of all of the teams, discuss how the semi finals might unfold and predict who will be champions after the final on Sunday.

In the wake of curfewgate and enforced changes to the squad, England entered the second Test against New Zealand very much with a disrupted team, something which New Zealand took full opportunity to exploit with incredible performances from Glenn Phillips and Matt Henry.

The ICC 2026 Women's T20 World Cup is on the brink of starting, so we take this moment to sit down, explain the format and go through the squads to try and make a prediction of who will come out as World Champions in just under a month's time.

Rob Key address the media on Thursday ahead of the second New Zealand Test to talk about the Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson nightclub incident. In this Power Play Podcast, we react to his response to the ongoing situation and discuss whether England Cricket has a drinking culture or if the issue is much bigger than that.

The impressive England Test victory over New Zealand at Lords was overshadowed by an unsatisfactory wicket, heavily bowler favouring conditions and an incident that saw Ben Stokes and GUs Atkinson break the team curfew. We discuss all this and what the future of England Test cricket could look like in the latest Round The Stumps Podcast.
