Episode description

It's been a rollercoaster of a journey for Ireland since securing Test status back in 2017.

Ireland have lost all five Tests they have played but this week, made history by posting their highest Test score of 492 against Sri Lanka.

Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Sunil Gupta react to this achievement with Ireland's head coach Heinrich Malan.

Following Mickey Arthur's appointment of Director of Cricket for Pakistan, we discuss how it will work combined with his current role as coach of Derbyshire in the County Championship and if it is a sign of how coaching will change with dual roles?

We also discuss the return of Ajinkya Rahane to India’s Test team for the upcoming World Test Championship final against Australia.
