The IPL is back!
This year's competition begins with a repeat of that final as the defending champions, Sunrisers Hyderabad, host Royal Challengers Bangalore, and if that was not enough to whet your appetite, download the IPL Preview Podcast here.
Matt Floyd will be joined in the studio by Rob Key to look ahead to the opening of a competition that Eoin Morgan, in an interview with Sky Sports, has described as "the best in the world."
The preview show will feature more from that extended interview with England's limited overs captain, as he outlines why the IPL will be beneficial to the national side's chances of success in this summer's ICC Champions Trophy and the World Cup in 2019.
It will also be our first chance to hear from our IPL expert Mark Butcher, who again will be working his way across India providing analysis, interviews, features and pitch-side updates throughout the tournament.
Also discussed, the record number of England internationals on show in the 2017 edition of the IPL - eight in total, including the two who dominated the headlines after being sold for jaw-dropping amounts of money in the auction, Ben Stokes (£1.7m) and Tymal Mills (£1.4m).
