Abtaha Maqsood on a first World Cup, Shane Warne and representation
Scotland leg spinner Abtaha Maqsood reflects on her T20 World Cup debut.
As India and England fail to reach the last four of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, the inquest into their exit begins. Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma discuss where it all went wrong, and ask if anyone can stop Australia defending their title.
Scotland returned from their first ICC Women’s T20 World Cup and leg spinner Abtaha Maqsood joins the team to talk about her experience of playing in the tournament for the first time, what she’s been able to learn from facing the top-ranked teams in the world, and why being a role model is so important to her.
Plus, we find out more about the garden shed invention which changed the shape of spin bowling. Matthew Pryor, son of the inventor Henry, joins the team explain how Merlyn came to be and how it’s helped teams master the conditions in the sub-continent.
