In this episode, I break down one of the biggest talking points in English cricket this week...Ben Duckett turning down the IPL.

I also cover:

• The ECB backing Rob Key, Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes

This weekly podcast gives honest, fan-driven insight into the biggest cricket stories each week.

Liam Livingstone has spoken out about his treatment by England selectors, raising serious questions about how England cricket is being run behind the scenes.

In this episode, I break down Livingstone’s interview, what it reveals about Rob Key and the England setup, and whether concerns about the team being too “clicky” are justified.

I also discuss:
