Cricket reader Q&A: ask Ali Martin your questions ahead of England v Pakistan

Key events

Welcome to the Conversation

Meet the new boss … same as the old boss? Next week Joe Root returns as England captain under new coach Stephen Fleming as the men’s team look to turn their summer around after defeat to New Zealand earlier in the summer as Ben Stokes dramatically announced his retirement and before Brendon McCullum was relieved of his duties.

Ali Martin will be here at 2pm BST on Friday 14 August to discuss the new shape of the team. Post any questions you might have below about England, the men and women’s Hundred season or anything else you’d like to ask our cricket correspondent.
