Cricket in Netherlands- Ft. Jan Balk, Girish Chauhan
11/17/23 • 53 min
For the first podcast episode recorded on 16.11, I was fortunate to be joined by Jan Balk (Amsterdam Cricket Club Legend), who has been playing for the club for 52 years! And Girish Chauhan, who has led ACC-4 for past 3 years, and who just doesn't stop talking about cricket EVER. What better guests to have on the first episode?
We discuss about their cricketing journeys, evolution and potential of cricket in NL, impact of expats on the game, and much much more.
Thanks for listening!

From Afghanistan to Netherlands- Ft. Ezzat Muhseni
01/12/23- I had the privilege of talking to Amsterdam Cricket Club Zomi's young captain Ezzat Muhseni (a.k.a Tazze), who comes from Afghanistan and started following cricket early in his life, but fell in love with it once he joined ACC.
Within four years time, he has gone from being game's absolute rookie to the captain and highest run-scorer for ACC Zomi in 2023.
We talked about how he got introduced to the game, how he improved leaps and bounds, his love for Afghanistan Cricket Team, and my favourite part was when he shared some hilarious anecdotes about his current team (especially how he got his name Tazze, which is spelled Ezzat in reverse!!)
If you're interested in learning more about Afghanistan's Cricketing Journey, I suggest this documentary Cricket In The Shadow Of War on Al Jazeera Network.
Hope you enjoy the episode as much as we did. For any improvement suggestions, please leave a comment.
Thanks,
Sushant
