Alan and Todd have a quick chat about the actual cricket at the Asian Games before being joined by the man behind the cricket; Adam Birss. Adam gives us a little background on himself before taking us inside the organisation of Cricket at the Games and has a chuckle about some of the myths that were circulating prior to the event starting.
Alan, Bes and Todd join up for a special pod about the most memorable day that Japan Cricket has ever experienced. The Japan Men's team took the reigning World Champions to the last ball of the match, the day after a typhoon had swept through Sano. With so much to talk about this pod could have gone on for days. We hope you enjoy it.
That's right, news dropped on Friday night that the India Men's team will take on the boys from Japan in a T20 International on 22nd September - barely two weeks away!While there's plenty to unpack around that, there's also the small matter of internationals against Malaysia for the Women and Hong Kong for the Men happening first. After that everyone jumps on buses to Nagoya for the Asian Games - so a busy September is incoming!We find time to talk about the recently concluded JCL T10 as well, although rain scuppers the J20 Finals Day.
Japan vs India at the Asian Games! Who saw that coming? A date with destiny for the Japan Women's Team, while the Men will take on Afghanistan and Nepal - so plenty for Alan and Todd to comb through there. The Japan Olympic Committee approved the Japanese players selected for the Games as well, so that was another talking point. There's half an update on the Men's World Cup Qualification pathway, but details remain clear as mud, while there's also time to chat about the Under 19 Women's historic tournament in Malaysia and a bit of domestic cricket to boot. Lastly there's a thank you and farewell to a Japan Cricket Icon.
We're a little late to the party here, but at least we've got back in the end! Plenty for Alan and Todd to look back on since the Women's Japan Premier League culminated in a terrific finish at the end of May before the Women's Japan National Team jetted off to the ACC Premier Cup in Malaysia.Not only that, but the Women's Japan Under 19 team are about to take the the field for the very first time this weekend, so that gets a mention as well.
Todd's Back! As much as we loved having Daniel Beswick with us, all now feels right with the world as Mr Luckhurst returns to join Alan in discussing the JPL, the men's EAP and a little of the Women's JPL as well. There's tales from behind the scenes and a nice new background for those watching the videos.
With Todd winging his way back to Australia following his stint in Japan, Alan once again collaborates with Daniel Beswick of Emerging Cricket fame to run the rule over the EAP World Cup Sub Regional Qualifier so far. Don't worry, normal service will resume soon.
Alan & Todd join forces with the voice of the EAP region, Daniel Beswick to talk all things Japan Cricket in 2026 with a bit of a focus on the Japan Premier League.
