India are back in Test action, and we're talking through the opening match against Sri Lanka and the dwindling potential for the World Test Championship. We question what an ICC-regulated Test calendar could mean for the game, and what the future of ODIs could be.

Also, a discussion on the best lineup for an Indian Test team and Tarun takes us inside the surprisingly stressful life of a weekend umpire.

It’s Tarun’s birthday! With a quiet week in cricket, we’re celebrating with games, making predictions, and roasting some questionable choices.

We catch up on India’s growing injury list, Ajinkya Rahane’s thoughts on the future of Test cricket, and where Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma might end up after international retirement.

Then, we build Tarun’s ideal cricket birthday party, and attempt a game of cricket Taboo before putting our predictions for next year into a time capsule.

Plus: who controls the aux at Chinnaswamy, and just how much is Tarun willing to sacrifice for another peak Kohli match?

Ajinkya Rahane calls time on his career, which leads us to think about what's next for Indian cricket.

This week we're talking all about changes - rumored IPL trades, England's coaching lineup, and India's search for the next bowling leader beyond Bumrah. We also debate whether current players should speak out on political issues, and why The Hundred might be one of the more fascinating competitions in cricket.
