What is life like in a sporting bio-bubble?
We examine life in a sporting bio-bubble, with Eleanor Oldroyd presenting the programme from inside the England Cricket bubble at Old Trafford. Steve Elworthy from the ECB was responsible for planning the return of international cricket in England and he tells us what kept him up at night, his belief that a World Cup could be held under the current conditions and how cricket in 2021 could look. The NBA players Union Wellness counsellor - Keyon Dooling - has spent time in basketball’s Florida bubble. He tells us what that was like, how his players are coping psychologically with life in the bubble and the support his union and the league are offering them. The NFL season returned this week and we hear from Kansas City Chiefs fan – Brooke Fishel – who was at Arrowhead Stadium on opening night.

Sporting Witness this week looks at the challenge known as Everesting. It sees riders go up and down their local hill until they’ve covered the equivalent to climbing the 8848 metres of the world’s highest mountain. We hear from George Mallory and Andy Van Bergen, the organisers of the Everesting club. And with Ferrari racing in their one thousandth Grand Prix this weekend we speak to Ross Brawn.
