What to expect from Ollie Pope, England Test captain – the Sri Lanka series preview

Description:

Mark Butcher, Phil Walker and Yas Rana preview England's Test series against Sri Lanka which gets underway at Old Trafford this week.

There's discussion about Ollie Pope's role as captain in Ben Stokes' absence, Dan Lawrence opening the batting, debate over team balance and whether Sam Curran should have been considered.

Also on the agenda is the conclusion of the men's Hundred and a thrilling low-scoring Test between West Indies and South Africa, before Surrey and England legend Alec Stewart joins Yas to chat about some of his favourite moments from his glittering career.

We'll have reaction to the final of the women's Hundred on the Wisden Women's Cricket Weekly Podcast later this week.

*Shortly after recording, England announced that Matthew Potts would replace Stokes in the XI with Jordan Cox missing out.*
