Daniel Beswick joins Alan Curr (COO of Japan Cricket Association and co-host of the Japan Cricket Podcast) in Sano as we head into the final three matchdays of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup East Asia-Pacific Qualifier.

Bes sits down with Alan Curr and Todd Luckhurst in the Sano International Cricket Ground Tea Room to team up and chat the upcoming summer of cricket in Japan, the new ground in Nagoya, developments and goals in the country.

Nick and Bes discuss the Women's Challenge Trophy, Namibia and Nepal tri-series, the upcoming JPL, plus answer questions from listeners!

League 2 returns in Namibia who move forward in ODI cricket with JJ Smit at the helm, taking over Gerhard Erasmus in tri-series against Oman and Scotland. We wrap T20 World Cup sub-regionals (and take heed on unknown pathway details!) plus look at Fanny Utagushimaninde's tongue-wagging century for Rwanda and Bahrain's never-ending tour after struggles to return home.

Hosts: Daniel Beswick and Nick Skinner

From on the ground at the T20 World Cup, Daniel Beswick joins Nick Skinner to share the views of the Associate sides at the tournament, and his brush with a fan club of the EC Pod!

Nick is joined by EC's USA correspondent Nate Hays to discuss the fortunes of Associate teams at the group stage of the T20 World Cup. Despite no team making it through, there were some positive moments and encouraging signs amidst the disappointment.

Nick sits down to look over Nepal's T20WC squad, identifying some key performers ahead of their Group C appearances in Mumbai.

The T20 World Cup team previews continue, with Nick and Bes discussing Namibia's exciting squad in Group A, as well as looking into some of the new (and old) faces of Oman's campaign in Group B.
