Available for over a year

On this week’s Stumped, with Alison Mitchell, Matt Clinch and Charu Sharma, we take a closer look at how climate change affects cricket. England batter Maia Bouchier tells us about the physical and mental effects of extreme heat; that’s after she contributed to a recent report which warns that players at all levels of the game across the globe are being placed at increasing risk due to playing in extreme conditions. They discuss the latest from the Women’s World Cup and ask what can be done to mitigate the weather after a number of games were washed out in Sri Lanka.

We hear from UP Warriorz and India player Saima Thakor and find out how getting off the bus at the wrong stop helped catapult her into an international cricket career.

Plus, the team chat about their favourite pieces of cricket memorabilia after Lord’s announced that it was making sections of the outfield available for sale ahead of ground renovations.
