Is IPL even cricket anymore?
Today on The Sports Agents - Has the introduction of 'impact players' in the Indian Premier League become a 'threat to the fabric of the sport?'
The Telegraph's Nick Hoult joins Gabby & Mark to reflect on a rule change which has divided cricket fans all over the world... While the IPL's franchises, big broadcast deals, and brilliant blend of Bollywood has been widely celebrated - have they made a fatal mistake in meddling with the actual game?
Plus, was David Moyes right to single out Declan Rice as the reason West Ham have suffered so many big defeats away from home this season and would any UK sportsperson ever submit themselves to a 'comedy roast' like Tom Brady?
