Does cricket need a two-tier World Test Championship?

We hear from Ireland men's national selector Andrew White after their first Test win.

Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma discuss the retirement of New Zealand's Neil Wagner after his former teammate Ross Taylor said his retirement was 'forced'. Plus the team try and decipher why Australia and New Zealand play so few Test matches against each other. In the 78 years of Test match cricket between the two nations, Australia has played New Zealand just 60 times.

We are joined by former Ireland player Andrew White who earned 232 caps for his country and now men's national selector. He tells us about their first ever Test match victory, his hopes that this could ensure more Test matches are played and if a two-tier World Test Championship is needed.

We reflect on the first leg of the Women's Premier League in Bangalore and assess how the tournament is being perceived in its second season.

We want to hear from you and your thoughts on all things cricket which we'll play on next week's show, so give us your assessment of the state of the game. You can get in touch with your voice notes via WhatsApp. Tell us your name, where you're from and your views on +44 800 032 0470.
