Summary
Henry Moeran is alongside Test Match Special’s Daniel Norcross & Nikesh Rughani to discuss how Jos Buttler has returned to form for Gujarat Titans in the IPL. Is he more confident now the pressure of the England captaincy isn’t there? How can his form help the Titans go for IPL glory? What’s been the response to Jacob Bethell’s 28-ball 50 for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Plus, does MS Dhoni need to call it a day?
BBC commentator Scott Read joins Henry & Daniel to discuss Lancashire’s start to the season which has seen them draw all four of their matches. Can the groundsmen and women do something to help the side out? Will Shoaib Bashir’s County Championship struggles bring questions around who will be England’s starting spinner? And will the injury misfortunes of Jordan Cox cost him his England selection?
