The trio take a look at the only topic that matters - live international cricket returns on July 8 with the first Test between England and West Indies at Southampton. 

George Dobell gives a lowdown on how badly the English and Wales Cricket Board were hit by the Covid-19 crisis and how the West Indies' tour of England came about to save the day. 

Also, on this episode of the HotSpot podcast:

-- Dobell talks about what loss of cricket means for the English summer. 

-- Preparations (or lack of) for both England and West Indies. 

-- Ben Stokes for England's captaincy? Should Joe Root make way and play as batsman alone? 

-- Lack of saliva, but sweat allowed to shine the ball. Deep Dasgupta wonders if sanitizer can be used on the ball.
