We are joined by Mohammad Isam, Cricinfo correspondent for Bangladesh Cricket, to discuss a historic Bangladesh Test win against Australia.

We ask him about their fast-bowling stocks, Shanto’s captaincy, Taskin’s celebration, Mahmud’s lack of one, and Kerry O’Keeffe.

MV hosts, along with Sarthak, Saurabh, and Richa on the panel.

This is one for the ages, folks.

Tune in.

On this pod, Richa and MV are joined by Eddie Fitzgibbon.

Eddie is a former ICC Development Manager; he was the director of operations for Cricket All Stars and now runs a sports management consultancy.

Eddie's pieces on his Substack provide a window into the immense potential of Cricket as a global sport, offering a plethora of suggestions for improving the game through minor tweaks or by borrowing from other sports. It's not just about the players but keeping the fan at the centre of a lot of these conversations.

We discuss the importance of World Cups, the need for Cabo Verde in a football WC, a Grey's Anatomy reference, journey of Associate teams and lack of clarity, Caitlyn Clark, GenZ (where have we heard that before?) and the burning question: What would Elon Musk do if he bought Cricket?

On this week’s PCCI pod, Richa, Sarthak, Nishant, Aditya, and MV discuss Rahane’s retirement and our best memories of his career, Gabba comes up once or thrice. We also discuss the ‘kesariya’ Indian Hockey Jersey, FIFA-UEFA jugalbandi, and Clicky Ponting type cricket ‘bodmosi’, the one off Women’s Lords Test between India and England, as well as the appointment of Fleming as the new Red Ball Manager successor to Baz.

We also deep dive into the PCCI staff piece on Substack ‘Your cricketing heroes, they don’t really care about us’ and why Sachin and Kohli toe the party line.
