The Emerging Cricket Podcast

Full episode on Patreon! Nick speaks to EC's Netherlands correspondent Rod Lyall about the weekend's upcoming action at the pointy end of the Dutch domestic season. There's the T20 semis and grand final, as well Topklasse semi-finals - though a cloud hangs over the Topklasse matches with some acrimonious drama over an alleged incident of racial abuse on the field.

Assistant Coach, Evan McCall talks to Nick (@HeliocentCric) on the sidelines of the recent T20 World Cup EAP "B" Qualifier hosted by the Philippines Cricket Association. Using the Spirit of Cricket and the pride for the country as its foundation, the PCA has launched a mix of T20 and Sixes leagues/programmes to get the sport into schools and universities. They also have a new home at Friendship Oval in Dasmariñas, Cavite - just south of Manila.

A DENSE show this week as Daniel Beswick and Nick Skinner take a look at a new League 2 cycle, Canada's tour of Asia and the spate of ACC and other cricket in the region. Definitely one accompanied by scorecards and Wikipedia pages!

Canada, Hong Kong, Oman, PNG, USA and the hosts will fight out for the final four places in the ICC's new all-ODI "Cricket World Cup League 2". The bottom two will slot into the new CWCQ Challenge League. Hear the team's take on each of the teams and the players to look out for as well as everyone's final placings predictions.
