Suzie Bates: From Olympic basketballer to Commonwealth Games cricketer

We preview the Commonwealth Games with New Zealand Olympian, Suzie Bates. Plus, after Ben Stokes retired from one-day internationals, we debate whether there's too much cricket.

On this week's Stumped with Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma we look ahead to the Commonwealth Games with New Zealand star Suzie Bates. 14 years after representing her country in basketball at the Olympics in Beijing in 2008, she says helping the White Ferns to medal in Birmingham would be a career highlight.

Plus, after England's Test captain Ben Stokes announced his retirement from one-day internationals, we debate whether players are being asked to play too much cricket.
