On this week\u2019s Stumped with Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma, we\u2019re joined by Australian international Lauren Cheatle as she eyes a return to cricket. After two surgeries to remove early-stage skin cancer and a fourth shoulder reconstruction, the 23-year-old is aiming to return for the Sydney Sixers in the Women\u2019s Big Bash League in October.

We reflect on Eoin Morgan\u2019s international retirement, his legacy as a World Cup-winning skipper and ask whether Jos Buttler is the right man to replace him as England\u2019s white-ball captain. Plus we discuss India\u2019s re-arranged Test with England, ten months on from its original date.
