Cummins’ Injury Cloud: Should Smith Take Over as Captain?

Menners and Damian Watson break down a huge week in cricket: Mitchell Starc retires from T20 internationals, Pat Cummins faces a worrying back injury ahead of the Ashes, and Josh Hazlewood’s fitness looms large. They cover Australia’s T20 squad for New Zealand, standout performances in The Hundred, Marnus Labuschagne’s timely century, and Don Bradman’s baggy green selling for nearly half a million dollars.
