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.

If you haven't already, we recommend you check out the incredible coverage provided by Daniel and the rest of the team at Emerging Cricket, at their website, on Twitter or via the Emerging Cricket podcast. You'll also find links on their website to support the work they are doing, or find more information about contributing your own work.
Of course, we also recommend you dip back into our back catalogue, you'll find our recent work on our Men's Test Cricket Hall of Fame, plus interviews from all around the world, including the likes of Jarrod Kimber, Tim Southee, Bharat Sundaresan, Finn Allen, Shane Deitz, Mike Hussey and many more. For more information about all of our episodes, head to our website.
From next week, we'll be changing up the format of our shows slightly - shorter, but more regular, episodes, which will hopefully allow us to provide more focused content - so keep your eyes on our podcast feed for more information
Finally, please take the time to give us a like, follow, share or subscribe on all our channels (@toporderpod on Twitter and Facebook, & @thetoporderpodcast on Instagram) and a (5-Star!) review at your favourite podcast provider, or tell a friend to download. It really helps others find the show. We're also slowly adding our interviews to our YouTube channel. And if you'd like to reach out to us with feedback, questions or guest suggestions, or just to say hello, we'd love to hear from you at [email protected].
Thanks for listening.
