Kagiso Rabada: The IPL, bio-bubbles & being a South African role model

We hear from South Africa's Kagiso Rabada on playing in the Indian Premier League and his World Cup hopes.

Plus we have the latest on the Ashes situation.

South Africa and Delhi Capitals’ fast bowler Kagiso Rabada has told ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Stumped that ‘bio-bubbles aren’t sustainable’ in world cricket and something must change.

Rabada, who made his IPL debut four years ago as a 22-year-old, has risen to become one of the most successful bowlers in world cricket and a role model for young South Africans. He joined Alison Mitchell, Sunil Gupta and Jim Maxwell to discuss his development as a player, what it’s like to be coached by Ricky Pointing and his hopes of lifting the Indian Premier League trophy with Delhi Capitals, after losing last year’s Final.

Also on Stumped, we discuss another week of speculation around the future of the Ashes, what will happen next and we hear from West Indies legend Michael Holding who claims England showed "Western arrogance" by cancelling their tour of Pakistan.
