[upbeat music] Wisden Cricket Weekly, I'm Cameron Punsonby, joined by Matt Roller and Katya Whitney. Obviously, one major piece of news, uh, kind of breaking over the last 24, 48 hours. We will have a normal podcast with the kind of roundup of the domestic and international game. But for those who are catching up, the ECB released a statement, uh, yesterday evening saying they're currently investigating a breach of team protocols following the conclusion of the first men's test against New Zealand. Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson were present at a nightclub in the early hours of Monday morning when an incident took place. They're currently seeking further information, and an announcement regarding the squad for the second test will be made in due course, and the cricket regulator has been informed. Full disclosure, we're recording this about 1:00 PM on Tuesday, it's a moving live situation as Matt Roller and Katya are smiling. Um, but first I spoke to, um, Mark Butcher. [upbeat music] This summer at Wisden is proudly sponsored by our long-term partners over at Kia UK. Kia is leading the way in electrification with their game-changing range of six electric vehicles, including the boundary-pushing EV9, the all-rounder EV5, and Kia's smallest electric vehicle, the brand-new EV2. Kia wants to help cricket fans get closer to the action with their weekly movement that inspires moment.
