My latest blog is about the important issue of Afghanistan’s women cricketers who fled to Australia after the Taliban seized power in 2021. How can all of us who love cricket best support them? Is a sporting boycott the way forward?

Quintessentially Bazball that after a first series win in NZ for 16 years, the team returns to England with doubts surrounding one of the openers, who bats at three, the skipper’s fitness, who keeps wicket and whether the Test arena is the right place for the spinner to learn his craft…
