Meet the 'batman' of cricket

Para cricketer Liam O'Brien on leading a double life and Sarah Taylor joins the Hundred.

On this week鈥檚 Stumped with Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma we speak to the England physical disability cricketer Liam O'Brien who has swapped playing cricket games for computer games. Plus he also speaks to us about raising awareness of disability cricket and how he leads a double life selling golfing holidays during the day whilst being an England cricketer on an evening.

The team are also joined by Ex-England wicket-keeper Sarah Taylor who has just signed for the Welsh Fire in the Hundred. She also tells us about her battle with anxiety, her coaching role at Sussex and ultimately wanting to be a wicket-keeping coach travelling around the world.

And should substitutes be allowed in cricket?
