Cricket is great if you're into things like wasted youth, failed relationships, sun damage and broken dreams. Join Pez & Higgos for a weekly show featuring news, views and interviews with major names from across the cricket scene, as well as daily reviews from the big fixtures around the globe.

We sat down with Ravi Shastri ahead of the Australia vs India white ball series to chat Kohli & Rohit, Gambhir and the new India and fixing the international cricket schedule.
 Don't Miss a Thing this summer of cricket. Watch Australia vs India only on Fox cricket, included on Kayo Sports. You can also watch the Ashes ad-break free during play and live in 4K on Kayo Sports.
