Brazil women's captain Roberta Moretti Avery on development, captaincy and mental health.
Nikesh Rughani, Charu Sharma and Jim Maxwell look ahead to Sri Lanka鈥檚 three-match Test Series against England. England will be without talismanic captain Ben Stokes after tearing his left hamstring. The team discuss if Ollie Pope is the right man to lead the side and who should replace Stokes in the line-up. And as the visitors appoint former England star Ian Bell as their batting coach for the series, the team ask what influence he could have on Sri Lanka going forward.
Plus, we speak to Brazil women鈥檚 captain Roberta Moretti Avery, who tells us about the growth of the sport in the country, what captaining her country means to her, and whether Brazil鈥檚 women could be heading on tour to India in the near future. She also reveals the names of her three dogs who have been named after some cricketing stars.
