Scoop Podcast: Schutt ready to rebound for 50-over leg

Megan Schutt joined the Scoop Podcast in Bristol with Australia needing two ODI wins to secure an Ashes series victory

It's unfamiliar territory for the Australians after losing their first bilateral series since 2017 after England won the decider at Lord's, but Megan Schutt joins Laura Jolly and Emily Collin on the Scoop Podcast today to affirm the champion team are fired up to win the Ashes despite the blip.

Ahead of the first ODI of the Ashes series at Bristol, Megan provides an assessment of what went wrong for the Aussies at The Oval and Lord's and why she thinks the team are well-equipped to rebound in the 50-over format. She also reflects on being the leading wicket-taker in women's T20Is, and how she handles long periods spent away from her young daughter Rylee and wife Jess.
