Kim Cotton: The trailblazing umpire
New Zealand umpire Kim Cotton on her journey from playing cricket to becoming an umpire
Charu Sharma, Brett Sprigg and Nikesh Rughani are joined by New Zealand umpire Kim Cotton. Kim became the first female on-field umpire to stand in a men鈥檚 international between two full-member nations. She tells us how this historic moment felt, her journey to becoming an umpire and how she is paving the way for the next generation.
Plus, with the Indian Premier League in full swing, the team discuss how the tournament has unfolded. And one of Australia鈥檚 most influential player agents, Neil Maxwell has said the next phase of the IPL revolution would have players asking for permission from their Indian owners to represent Australia, not the other way around. The team debate their thoughts on whether this will happen.
And with two months to go until the men's Ashes begins, Brett Sprigg assesses the mood in Australia.
