The Wisden Cricket Weekly podcast gives a peep behind the Patreon curtain for a special episode on the state of state school cricket in the UK.

A report released by the Sutton Trust earlier this year highlighted male pro cricketers to be 59% privately educated, and Yas sits down with journalist Cameron Ponsonby to unpack things a little more, before speaking to Saj Mahmood on the Knight-Stokes Cup & the launch of cricket equipment company Reeqip.
