Summary
Jon Norman is joined by Cricket Broadcaster & Analyst Jarrod Kimber and the Deputy Cricket Correspondent of the Telegraph Will Macpherson to dissect England's Test squad for the first Test against New Zealand. Is Ollie Robinson's still England's best new ball bowler? Is there pressure on Gus Atkinson to perform with Jofra Archer set to come back in for the second Test? Should England have pulled Archer out of the IPL so he could play in the first Test? Will franchises soon offer Cricketers multi-year contracts to play for them instead? Is there pressure on Ben Stokes to start scoring runs again? Should he move down to bat at No.7, with Jamie Smith moving up to No.6? What now for Zak Crawley after being dropped from the Test squad? Has the pressure eased on Brendon McCullum after the public backing by the ECB?
