On this week鈥檚 大象传媒 Stumped with Alison Mitchell, Charu Sharma and Jim Maxwell. We speak to the Unmukt Chand, the cricketer once touted as the next Virat Kohli, about leaving his homeland in search of better opportunities and becoming the first Indian man to play in the Big Bash League in Australia. BCCI rules state any Indian player, contracted or non-contracted is not allowed to play any franchise cricket outside of India.
Chand won the Under 19鈥檚 World Cup with India in 2012, but now ten years on is living in the USA and recently made his debut for the Melbourne Renegades.

Plus the fallout continues from England鈥檚 4-0 thrashing by Australia in the Men鈥檚 Ashes. We discuss the news that Ashley Giles is leaving his role as England's managing director of men's cricket.

We also debate whether there should be more Test matches in the women鈥檚 game following the thrilling draw between England and Australia.
