With Aatif gallivanting in Istanbul….Isa and Ankur return with guest and Sri Lankan Cricket nut, Mark Machado, to discuss the historic win led by Frank Karunaratne against South Africa thanks to a superb knock from Kusal Perera.

It’s also less than 100 days to go to the World Cup – Ankur headed down to his old high school where the World Cup trophy and former England pace ace Devon Malcolm engaged with young South Asian kids who will get the chance to be involved in the showpiece event this summer.
