What is the future for red-ball cricket in the English game?


Listen Later

As England’s Test cricket team return home from Australia we reflect on how the side can come back from such a crushing Ashes defeat.

We’ll hear from Kent all-rounder Darren Stevens, who some have targeted as the example of why the domestic game is to blame. And as voices call for a slimming down of the county game we speak to Leicestershire County Cricket CEO Sean Jarvis.

We also take a look at player development with former England batter and batting coach Mark Ramprakash and we will try to learn lessons from New Zealand, to see how the World Test champions manage to compete in all formats of the game.

Panel: Sarah Mulkerrins, Patrick Gearey, Nick Hoult & Andrew Miller

Producer: Chris Hedley
