Season 15, Episode 16: Back from Perth, the numbers are flying around as CA looks to ink in its schedule for the next five years. There's a new 10-over IPL on the horizon, joy of joys, as the IPL and WPL player auctions roll out. India's women demolish England in a Test and aim to do the same to Australia, while there are more brilliant performances in women's cricket from Pakistan in New Zealand and from Bangladesh in South Africa. Exciting times. Also, SKY might just be the best in his format.
