Mushtaq Ahmed on Pakistan鈥檚 problems and history for Bangladesh

Mushtaq Ahmed explains why Pakistan need to remain calm after making seven changes for the third Test against England.

Former Pakistan leg-spinner and current Bangladesh spin coach, Mushtaq Ahmed, tells Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Sunil Gupta that he鈥檇 love to work with Pakistan again in the future and gives his thoughts on the current instability in the nation鈥檚 national team.

He believes Pakistan should remain calm and not make any rash decisions after they sent home seven players including two coaches after the second Test defeat against England at Lord鈥檚. He also says Bangladesh deserve the right to play more red ball cricket after their 1-1 draw in Australia.

Marnus Labugchagne has been left out of the recent Australia's ODI squad to face Zimbabwe and South Africa. The trio discuss if this marks the beginning of the end of Labuschagne's international career?

Plus, Cricket is played all around the world, from the gullies of Lahore, to the back yards of Australia and the Maidan鈥檚 of India. It's also played in many unusual places like in Solent, England, on the Bramble Bank that appears only once a year! Alison went to find out more.
