England have lost their first series of the summer to New Zealand but there is only one story in town after Ben Stokes’ shock retirement.Jake, Nick and Will unpack the series of events which led to Stokes mid-game retirement at Trent Bridge and ask if the former England skipper could have handled the situation better.We ask how big of a miss Stokes will be as both a player and a captain moving forward, with Nick holding out hope that we have not seen the last of him in the Test arena just yet.All roads point to Harry Brook as next England captain. We take a look at what England would look like under his leadership and why a potential combination of Brook and Brendon McCullum could be disastrous.The team also discuss what the future holds for the English cricket, McCullum and Rob Key.And away from the Stokes circus, we check in with Sonia Twigg for all the latest from the Women’s T20 World Cup as England gear up for a semi-final against South Africa!
