BBC World Service – Stumped, Sri Lanka’s momentous moment and Mexico bring cricket into prisons


We celebrate Sri Lanka’s Asia Cup title and hear about a Cricket in Prisons project.

Alison Mitchell, Brett Sprigg and Charu Sharma debate who will be the next coach of the England white ball team after Matthew Mott stepped down following two years in charge.

Plus we are joined by Columbo cricket journalist Estelle Vasudevan, who was in Dambulla when Sri Lanka women won their first ever Asia Cup title in front of their home fans. She tells us what the atmosphere was like and whether this could be the springboard for the women’s team ahead of the T20 World Cup.

Can cricket help rehabilitate prisoners? We hear from the President of Mexico Cricket Ben Owen and Ana Cecilia Septien Godard who plays for the women’s national team. They tell us about their Cricket in Prisons programme.
