A round-up of the best cricket-related tweets, vids and instas this week
It’s been a manic week on social media after Australia Women became WT20 Champions, England completed their first overseas whitewash since the 1960s, and we learnt that Jofra Archer will be available for England in the World Cup.

The Rajasthan Royals cheekily took credit for his successful return to the England Test team.
