Foakes dropped, Archer ruled out for the summer and cricket’s greed

Mark Butcher, Jo Harman, Phil Walker and Yas Rana react to the England squad named for the Ireland Test.

There were plenty of big news stories in the announcement; Ben Foakes wasn’t included in the 15-man squad with Jonny Bairstow set to keep wicket in his place, Jofra Archer was ruled out for the summer and Ollie Pope was named as England’s official vice-captain.

There’s also discussion on a drama-filled round of the County Championship and the new ICC revenue sharing model that sees India take home an even bigger piece of the pie than before.
