Elite sport, fitness and body image

Season 12, Ep 20: Two big retirements from women's cricket raise a lot of questions about body image, team harmony, and the rising draw of domestic leagues compared to international contracts. Geoff and Adam meet up in Birmingham to talk through Lizelle Lee and Deandra Dottin giving the game away. Also this week, the problems for England men ahead of the T20 World Cup, another rousing Test victory for Sri Lanka, the end of the road for popular Australian coach Sri Sriram, and some questions about cricket finance.
