One of the greatest cricketers of all time, West Indies batter Brian Lara joins Stumped from Lord's to look back on his career; the highs and lows, plus the future of Test cricket and how the sport could evolve. Lara still holds world records for the highest individual score in both first-class cricket and Test cricket.

Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma also discuss with Lara who could be the next global cricket stars and the West Indies legend pays tribute to England’s record breaking pace bowler James Anderson, who will retire after his 188th Test of his career. Anderson was the last English bowler to get Lara out.

Plus we also hear from the Chair of Cricket Australia, Mike Baird on the latest regarding a possible Afghanistan women’s team. Last week, members of the former Afghanistan women’s team called on the International Cricket Council to help them form a refugee team based in Australia. Over 20 members of the Afghan women's team are based in Australia after the national team was disbanded in 2021 when the Taliban returned to power and banned women from playing sport.
