Pakistan: 25 years of international cricket
We hear about how women鈥檚 cricket has developed in Pakistan since their first international match 25 years ago.
On this week鈥檚 Stumped with Isabelle Westbury, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma, how did Pakistan's women go from having never played an international match to the Commonwealth Games in the space of 25 years? We鈥檒l find out the answer from journalist and author, Aayush Puthran, who has written a book on the subject.
We'll also discuss whether the world's best cricketers could soon be contracted all year round by Indian Premier League franchises and what the impact of that would be on the international game.
Plus we reflect on the career of West Indies star Deandra Dottin after she announced her international retirement.
