Usman Khawaja’s book has reopened old wounds as he claims the entire Australia team knew about the use of sandpaper to tamper with the ball in the final Test of their 2018 series in South Africa. The four Australia bowlers who played in that match, including current Test captain Pat Cummins, have consistently denied they had any prior knowledge of the plan. Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma discuss the latest twist to a scandal that rocked international cricket.
From record-breaking crowds at Lord’s to an astonishing 471 million hours of television viewing worldwide, the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup has been hailed as a landmark moment for the women’s game. New research suggests the tournament generated more than US$90 million in economic impact in the UK, while becoming the most-watched Women’s T20 World Cup in history. Tournament director Beth Barrett-Wild joins Stumped to discuss the success and what comes next for the women’s game.
Plus, One of India’s finest fast bowlers Mohammed Shami has retired from Test cricket. The 36-year-old thanked his fans and paid tribute to his coaches in a social media post and described his 13-year journey as full of ups and downs. Stumped asks if he’s one of the most underrated fast bowlers of his generation?
