This Week in Cricket #189: England's Ashes squad, Asia Cup final preview & QDK unretires
In this episode of the show, Raj, Baldy and Binksy look ahead to the India v Pakistan Asia Cup final and the Women's World Cup, plus discuss England's squad for The Ashes and Quinton de Kock's decision to unretire.
We start the show once again by talking about the Asia Cup, which is set to conclude with an India v Pakistan final. It's the game the crowds wanted, but will it live up to the hype? Can Pakistan learn from Sri Lanka's approach and push India all the way?
Next we turn the The Ashes, as England named their squad this week. Were there any surprises? Any spots up for grabs leading into the first Test? And will it be strong enough to challenge the Aussies in their own backyard?
To round out the show, we make quick mention of Quinton de Kock's decision to 'unretire' after Baldy drops off the video, before Baldy's voice returns to take through what he's looking out for ahead of the Women's ODI World Cup.
