🇦🇺 Could IPL investment be coming to the Big Bash League? 🏏Is there any point in playing one-off Test matches? 🇧🇷 World record-breaking pacer @Lauracmvb08 joins us Find out more on #BBCStumped👇 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3…

“FIFA has given significant hope to many Afghan women athletes and shown that no matter where they live, they can still represent their country and follow their passion.” 🇦🇫⚽🏏 Exiled Afghan cricketer Shafiqa Khan says FIFA’s recognition of displaced Afghan women footballers has become a symbol of hope — and now Afghan women cricketers want the ICC to take the same stand for their right to compete internationally.

And very much like Taylor’s quiet progression in coaching men’s cricket, this wasn’t headlined, she was simply named by Key in the list of coaching staff when it came up. As Key said, she is “one of the best in the business at what she does.” #bbccricket

Eye catching news from Rob Key that England World Cup winner Sarah Taylor will move from the Lions to the senior squad and will be the fielding coach for England Men’s Tests against NZ. She is so highly respected, such a significant move for women coaches everywhere #bbccricket

Rob Key has confirmed Gay will open. Rew is the spare batter and back up keeper. No decision made yet as to the spinner. Baker in the squad as the high pace option.

Emilio Gay gets the nod in a squad of 15. Plenty of talking points with the inclusions. Names missing from the Ashes: Crawley, Pope, Potts. Jacks. Archer currently at IPL while Carse is injured. #bbccricket

A new role on the cards for Ben Stokes - Key says there is “a chance Ben could take the new ball or come on very soon” during NZ Tests. This after Stokes took the new ball for Durham in the Ch’ship. #bbccricket

Plenty of bowling options with Bashir & Ahmed plus Baker & Fisher. You’d imagine Atkinson, Tongue, Robinson all play.

Few calmer cricketers than Charlie Dean. And a useful introduction to international cricket for 18yr old Tilly Corteen-Coleman, couple of wkts on debut and being in the middle at the end of a tight one #bbccricket

Getting a glimpse of the future.. although today the future is now! #bbccricket

A top cricketer of immense longevity and a champion human being. Total pleasure to chat with NZ great Suzie Bates for Stumped. And @ZAbbasOfficial gives us her eloquent take on the 2026 PSL season. #bbccricket #bbcstumped

🏏 New Zealand’s Suzie Bates will retire from international cricket after the @T20WorldCup, but why is now the right time? 🇵🇰 Plus @PeshawarZalmi win the @OfficialPSL 🏆 Find out more on #BBCStumped 🔊 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3…

@Hyundai_UK Thanks - I emailed customer services and got a call back from the dealership just reiterating that they can’t help. Is the VOR team different?

@AlisonMitchell Great News on the appointment Alison. For the courtesy car, it's worth calling our customer care team on 0800 981 981 who have a dedicated VOR team that may be able to help while your car is off the road.

Goodness, are there that many things going wrong with @Hyundai_UK cars that you can’t book in for work until 30th June at one dealership I’ve tried? Anyone else found this or have I had bad luck with timing? Others have no courtesy cars either, despite being under warranty. 🚙

@Hyundai_UK Hello @Hyundai_UK I’ve managed to get an appointment at one dealer in 2 weeks, but no courtesy cars avail, and no willingness to offer any alternative help in lieu of that. Other dealers are an hour, and an hour and a half’s drive away. It’s not a breakdown issue but a fault.

@AlisonMitchell Hey Alison, sorry you’ve hit a wait. Your warranty is valid at any approved retailer, so trying others nearby could get you seen sooner - ow.ly/eAFO2000JwX. Should you ever break down, our breakdown cover includes a courtesy car while yours is being fixed.

@BBCSport Glad to hear all the Joe Root supporters in Sheffield cheering on Wuuuuuuuu at the Crucible. What a champion he is.

WU YIZE HAS DONE IT! 🏆

What a skilful likeable and humble champion Wu Yize is. Teared up at the interaction with his parents 🥲 What a story #crucible

@MitchellGlenn @BBCWSSport @bbctms @SportSJA @_MCCFoundation @meljones_33 Thanks Glenn - let’s hope there is more positive news still to come in this story

@AlisonMitchell @BBCWSSport @bbctms @SportSJA @_MCCFoundation @meljones_33 Well done Alison 👏

This is for all the Afghanistan Women cricketers who have trusted me with their story. A story which is ongoing. #BBCStumped @BBCWSSport @bbctms #bbccricket Thank you @SportSJA for the recognition.
