As the England men’s cricket team prepare to face Afghanistan in
the Champions Trophy - despite pressure from MPs
to boycott the game in protest over the Taliban's treatment of
women - Firooza Amiri from the Afghanistan
women's cricket team reveals the details of her daring escape,
playing cricket in exile and the hypocrisy of the women's
national side not being recognised by the ICC.

International cricket journalist, Alison
Mitchell, from the BBC's Test Match Special and Stumped
podcast, joins us to tell the story she's been following since
the start.

Plus, details of the latest chapter in the European referees
crisis, after Slovenian referee Slavko Vincic
became the first foreign referee to take charge of a Turkish
top-flight game (between Galatasaray and Jose Mourinho's
Fenerbahce) following several controversies in Turkish
football over the past 18 months.
