Where has it all gone wrong for West Indies? Charu Sharma, Jim Maxwell and Nikesh Rughani discuss the decline of a once-great cricketing nation as they failed to reach the World Cup in India later this year. The two-time champions were beaten by Scotland, Netherlands and Zimbabwe in qualifying matches and won't appear at a men's 50-over World Cup for the first time ever. The third Ashes Test between England and Australia is under way at Headlingley but the controversy of Jonny Bairstow's dismissal in the second Test at Lord's continues to linger. Jim gives his view on UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's claim that the visitors went against the spirit of cricket. Plus, we pay tribute to Steve Smith as the Australian plays his 100th Test match having just become one of the quickest batters to reach 9000 Test runs.

Plus Simon Mann is joined by IPL commentator Nikesh Rughani and former IPL player Abhishek Jhunjhunwala to discuss Virat Kohli's record breaking hundred, whether Shubman Gill is the natural heir to Kohli and why the England contingent in the IPL have not performed as consistently as they'd hoped. Plus, as we reach the play offs, can any team stop holders and favourites Gujarat Titans?
Jim Maxwell catches up with Marcus Harris, who has been named in Australia's squads for the World Test Championship final against India and the upcoming men's Ashes series in England. Harris discusses competing with David Warner and Usman Khawaja for an opportunity to open the batting, explains why Steve Smith's stint in the County Championship is of benefit to England just as much as it is to Australia, and rebuffs Stuart Broad's claim that Australia's win in the 2021 series is “void”. We also get Harris' thoughts on England dropping wicketkeeper Ben Foakes from their Test squad to face Ireland at the start of June to make room for the return of Jonny Bairstow. Plus, Scotland's Lorna Jack joins Jim, Charu Sharma and Nikesh Rughani to discuss becoming one of the first female cricketers in the country to receive a professional contract. Jack's played almost 150 times for Scotland over a 16-year career. Away from cricket, she's a police officer in Glasgow.

Season 11, Ep 5: Few bigger weeks for the show to return: this was the week when Azeem Rafiq's testimony to a parliamentary hearing shook cricket in the UK, after years of him reporting racist conduct as a player at Yorkshire have been dismissed and covered up.

Virat Kohli has been Test captain of India for seven years but this week announced that he would be resigning his position. Charu Sharma, Jim Maxwell and Nikesh Rughani are joined by the former India Test Cricketer and current National Selector and President of the Indian Cricketers Association Ashok Malhotra. He tells us whether he thinks Kohli 'jumped before he was pushed' and his prediction for who will fill his shoes. Plus, from one outgoing captain to potentially another. The current England men's captain Joe Root says he wants to stay on, but we debate whether this really is the best choice after a 4-0 thrashing by Australia in the Men's Ashes.
