Daniel Beswick (Emerging Cricket Podcast)

Associate Cricket outlook and the T20 World Cup

We said in one of our recent podcasts that it was a buzz to discover we’ve got listeners in places as diverse as Spain, Singapore, Nepal and El Salvador, and although the Test playing nations - sometimes a select few - tend to dominate the media, we wanted to shine a light on some of the other cricket going on around the world. To that end, we were joined by Daniel Beswick, one of the founding members of the Emerging Cricket platform, to discuss the the outlook for Associate Cricket sides in the current environment and the T20 World Cup qualifiers.

Topics include:

  • Is Associate Cricket on the rise?

  • What are the biggest challenges?

  • The value and importance of major tournaments, such as the upcoming T20 World Cup

  • Opportunities for Associate players in franchise competitions such as the IPL and BBL

  • Cricket at the Olympics

  • What now for Afghanistan Cricket?

  • Are the USA a potential sleeping giant?

  • Players to watch and predictions for the T20 World Cup qualifiers

  • And much more.
