Departure through the Gateway of India

Season 13, Ep 27: And with that, it was done. Ahmedabad receded into the distance. Mumbai vanished into the night. Those weeks were left behind. So we turn out attention to Bangladesh, where the Tigers have just whitewashed world champions England in a T20 series, and friend of the show Mohammad Isam has been watching as always. Also this week, Temba Bavuma breaks through against West Indies, New Zealand finish another classic against Sri Lanka, the National Indigenous Cricket Championships are over with a new winner for the first time, the Shield gets spicy, and Shaun Marsh says goodbye to the long game.
