Sporting Life's Richard Mann joins James Buttler on the latest Cricket Badger Podcast to preview England's forthcoming Test series in Sri Lanka.
James and Richard take a closer look at the two teams, including the hosts who boast plenty of talent and experience in their batting line-up and have strength in their spin bowling stocks, too.
The possible of influence of Sri Lanka's new head coach Mickey Arthur is also discussed as the home side look to build a brighter future on the field.
With Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer missing the tour for England, the likes of Jonny Bairstow and Dan Lawrence come into focus along with captain Joe Root ahead of what is a huge 12 months for the Three Lions.
Jos Buttler is another name to come under the microscope and he features in Richard's best bets for the series, while James has spin on his mind when putting together his staking plan.
