Azeem Rafiq - the man who rocked the sport in 2020 with his seismic revelations of racism - and experienced broadcaster Matt Kabir Floyd take an opinionated look at the big stories affecting world cricket and other sports on and off the pitch. A British Pakistani from Barnsley and an Anglo Indian from London, the two of them certainly don’t agree on everything and are more than happy to vociferously argue their point. Using their widespread contacts in sport and politics they bring in regular guests of note to help debate the topics of the day. Nothing is off the table! New episodes every Wednesday and look out for other ‘bonus episodes’ throughout the week.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-23T06:17:38.502140+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-s-not-just-cricket-6898930"},"episode":{"title":"Pick a T20 World XI & England Test XI","slug":"pick-a-t20-world-xi-england-test-xi","published_at":"2026-04-29T11:41:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-s-not-just-cricket-6898930/pick-a-t20-world-xi-england-test-xi","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-s-not-just-cricket-6898930","url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/COMG5281767913.mp3?updated=1777463288","audio_url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/COMG5281767913.mp3?updated=1777463288","summary":"This week Azeem and Matt play selectors and attempt to pick a T20 World XI and an England Test XI for the 1st Test v New Zealand. Should Virat Kohli be in a T20 World XI even though he's not playing T20 internationals any more? Is it too early for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi?! Is Rashid Khan still the premier spinner in the world? Should Jacob Bethell be promoted to open the batting for England in Test cricket and who should take the wicket keeping gloves - Jamie Smith or James Rew?
