Season 20 Episode 23: The next twin Ashes series has dates and locations finalised, and it's safe to say there are hairs on the whole schedule. Why is one Test at the least accessible ground on the circuit? Why can't the two boards agree on how a women's series should work? Why does England keep moving the World Test Championship? Also this week, Justin Langer won't coach England, Harry Brook isn't trusted to captain, and poor old Joe Root looks like being dragged back into the breach.
