MENGENAI EPISOD INI
Australia's Test squad for the Bangladesh series has been named, with selectors backing experience over experimentation despite growing pressure on several key positions. Menners and Damian debate whether Josh Hazlewood should still hold off Scott Boland, how much time Marnus Labuschagne has left at No.3, and whether Cameron Green and Beau Webster can coexist in the same XI. The episode also pays tribute to the legendary Sir Garfield Sobers following his passing, reviews a record-breaking Major League Cricket tournament, unpacks the ICC's controversial new World Cup formats, and discusses the retirement of NSW stalwart Moises Henriques.
