On this local Chai stall equivalent discussion, we talk about the new WTC schedule for 21-23. How scheduling is still skewed towards the Big 3 and what needs improvement. We also talk about what India needs to do in this cycle, how Indian First-Class cricketers need to be looked after and what steps can be taken to create a separate pipeline for Test cricket.

We also talk about the recently concluded WODI series between Ind and England.

In addition, as a bonus, we have a couple of wonderful cricketing anecdotes from Mr Gulu Ezekiel's 'Myth-Busting' about common misconceptions, which truly blew our minds.
