Shukri Conrad: 'I face a monumental task with South Africa'
We鈥檙e joined by the new South Africa men鈥檚 Test coach Shukri Conrad for his first interview since being appointed to the role.
On this week鈥檚 episode of Stumped, Shukri Conrad joins Eleanor Oldroyd, Jim Maxwell and Sunil Gupta for his first interview since being appointed as the coach of South Africa men鈥檚 Test side. It鈥檚 been a disappointing period for the Proteas after heavy defeats in Australia and England, and Conrad admits that it鈥檚 not going to be easy to fix their issues. We discuss their batting frailties, whether Dean Elgar will remain as captain, and we pay tribute to legendary batsman Hashim Amla after he announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.
Is India鈥檚 Shubman Gill realising his potential? After coming under pressure from Ishan Kishan for his place in the side, the 23-year-old repaid the faith shown in him as he became the youngest man to score a double century in a One Day International, helping his side beat New Zealand in the process. Plus, we ask how much pressure is on Virat Kohli ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with Australia?
We also take a look at the competition that Sachin Tendulkar says could transform the landscape of women's cricket. The Women鈥檚 U19 T20 World Cup is in full swing, and we look back on impressive wins for Bangladesh and Rwanda, while there鈥檚 yet more Mankad controversy.
