Even with the background of a thrilling Ashes, Mitchell said that England’s preparation of the defence of their World Cup title had turned into “a big muddling mess, ultimately.”
Additionally, Mitchell also discusses why the ODI format of cricket cannot and should not be banished, why and how it is a central skill-builder in women’s cricket, and why cricket should find its way into the Olympics.
