Shoaib Bashir’s sensational Test call-up and England go down in the West Indies

Wisden Cricket Weekly

The panel of Jo Harman, Phil Walker and Yas Rana react to England’s squad announcement for their upcoming tour of India, which saw uncapped spinners Shoaib Bashir and Tom Hartley included for the first time despite the pair’s modest records with the ball in first-class cricket.

Elsewhere, Mark Butcher joins the show to talk about England’s ODI series defeat in the Caribbean before the panel talk about England women’s series victory over India in India, the report into racism allegations at Essex, Glenn Phillips’ incredible all-round performance in Bangladesh and, of course, the Abu Dhabi T10 final.
