Download No Balls: Alex arrives in India with World Cup fever!

Kate Cross & Alex Hartley actually talk cricket as they look ahead to the 2025 Women’s World Cup.

They discuss Alex’s not-so-smooth journey to India, why this World Cup could be the closest ever, and why Australia are still Alex’s pick to win the competition. Plus, how Emma Lamb’s “frightening” form can help England on their way to challenge for the title.

Also, Crossy challenges Alex in ‘How well does Hartley remember her World Cup win?’
