Major League Cricket: Will it break America?

San Francisco Unicorns co-owner Anand Rajaraman discusses whether cricket can become a mainstream sport in the United States.

We鈥檙e heading to America to meet the co-owner of a Major League Cricket franchise. Anand Rajaraman is an entrepreneur who has sold businesses to Amazon and Walmart, as well as being an early investor in Facebook. His latest start-up is the San Francisco Unicorns and he aims to make cricket a mainstream American sport. The first question is: Why has he named his team after a mythical creature?

Plus, Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma are joined by England fast-bowler Kate Cross following the conclusion of a thrilling Women鈥檚 Ashes. After losing the first Test and T20 of the multi-format series England looked down and out, but managed to rally and draw the series. Unfortunately for them, Australia retained the Women鈥檚 Ashes as they were the holders. We get Kate鈥檚 thoughts on her side鈥檚 performances and whether the structure of the series needs to be reviewed.
