Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma discuss the future of the England Test team following the shock retirement of Ben Stokes. Who will take the armband, how will Stokes’ international career be remembered and is it the end of ‘Bazball’? Succeeding as a professional in one sport is pretty impressive, but doing so in two is pretty special! That’s exactly what 2019 World Cup winner Liam Plunkett did after making his professional baseball debut for the Oakland Ballers. Known for his fast pitches, Liam tells Stumped about his curveball – a strikeout in his first game! Plus, we hear from former Ireland captain Alan Lewis about a historic weekend for Irish cricket when the men beat India 2-0 for the first time in a T20 series and the women, led by Alan’s daughter Gaby, recorded their first win in a Women’s T20 World Cup.
