Stumped

Available for over a year

Teenager Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has set another record by becoming the youngest ever player to play for India. He was just 15 years and 99 days old when he took to the field in India's second T20 of their ongoing series against England, breaking the long held record of Sachin Tendulkar, who made his debut in a Test against Pakistan aged 16 years and 205 days in 1989. Alison Mitchell, Sunil Gupta and Brett Sprigg discuss whether he鈥檚 living up to the hype. Australia won their record extending seventh Women鈥檚 T20 World Cup, beating England at Lord鈥檚 by 7 wickets. The tournament was the biggest to date with 12 teams competing. The trio reflect on the competition and ask what makes the Aussies so good? Plus, history is being made at Lord鈥檚 as it hosts its first every Women鈥檚 Test match between England and India. Fast bowler Lauren Filer tells us what the occasion means for the women鈥檚 game.
