Published: June 23, 2022, 1:55 p.m.

b'On this week\\u2019s Stumped with Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Sunil Gupta we ask whether you would rather miss the birth of your first child or have the chance to play in a World Cup? For Australian international Dan Christian that was a dilemma he had to consider. He joins us to discuss his book \\u2018The All-Rounder\\u2019, in which he documents a chaotic year of dodging Covid-19 and travelling the world playing cricket.\\n\\nPlus we\\u2019ll catch up with the chief executive of the Ukraine Cricket Federation, Kobus Olivier. Kobus spoke to Stumped in February on the day Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine. He has since fled his home in Kyiv and started a new life teaching refugees how to play cricket in Croatia. We\\u2019ll also look ahead to South Africa women\\u2019s first Test match in over seven years.\\n\\nImage: Dan Christian of the Sixers celebrates the Big Bash League match between the Sydney Sixers and the Brisbane Heat at Metricon Stadium, on January 10, 2021, in Gold Coast, Australia.
