The Year Behind and the Summer Ahead with Jacob Duffy and Eden Carson

Ben Hurley is on the road for this episode of The Cricketers Network, catching up with two New Zealand internationals at very different points in their journeys.

Jacob Duffy joins Ben from Adelaide after an incredible 12 months that has seen him establish himself in the Blackcaps, play in both a World Cup final and an IPL final, win the IPL with RCB and become a father. He also reflects on receiving the NZCPA Players’ Cap, an award voted on by his teammates and one that he says felt particularly special.

Then Eden Carson returns to the show to talk about a very different year. After almost 18 months dealing with injury, rehab and surgery, Eden is back bowling, back training and preparing to return to international cricket as the White Ferns head to Australia. She also talks about the mental challenge of being sidelined, completing her te reo Māori study, and stepping into a new era for the White Ferns without Suzie Bates, Sophie Devine and Lea Tahuhu.

Two Otago players. Two very different years. One huge summer ahead.

We are back at Eden park with Jimmy and Suzie for a huge catch up as to what they have been up to across the cricketing planet. From Glasgow to Barbados and back home again, the A team cover the world of the greatest game in one beautiful podcast package

Suzie reflects on her final game for the White Ferns, the emotions of walking away from international cricket, what life has looked like since, and why she is not quite finished playing just yet.

Jimmy returns from the inaugural European T20 Premier League with stories of missing luggage, questionable bus directions and the realities of franchise cricket, while also revealing how he would like his own retirement to eventually play out.

The trio also get into the future of the White Ferns, Australia’s return to South Africa, the increasingly difficult life of a Test opener, India’s run-scoring madness, the growing number of global T20 leagues and what NZ20 could mean for keeping New Zealand’s best players at home.

Plenty of cricket. Plenty of tangents. And, somehow, plenty of discussion about holidays.

Ben Hurley catches up with Logan van Beek from Dublin for a special look inside the new European T20 Premier League.

Playing for the Rotterdam Dockers alongside Faf du Plessis, Logan takes us behind the scenes of the tournament, from rubbing shoulders with some of world cricket’s biggest names to the opportunities the competition is creating for players from the Netherlands, Ireland and Scotland.

They chat franchise cricket, the seemingly ageless Faf, Logan’s Dutch heritage, his long-running rivalry with Jimmy Neesham, Kyle Mills’ unbeaten Edinburgh Castle Rockers and why the ETPL could offer a glimpse of what a competition like NZ20 might bring to cricket in New Zealand.
