Podcasts about t20 world cup

In this week's PowettPlay Podcast, hosts Jordan Shannon and West Indies cricketer Kieran Powell take a hard look at the makeup of the West Indies 2026 T20 World Cup squad. With the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) in full swing, Kieran looks at the side what the World Cup side would look if all CPL players were to be available. Kieran raises some eye-opening points about the current state of the CPL, highlighting the form of several former West Indies stars. He shares his vision for change, suggesting: More opportunities for younger Caribbean talent to showcase their skills. Spreading experienced players across franchises to create better balance. Smarter use of CPL draft picks to support player development across the region. Jordan echoes these views, stressing that the tournament has started to feel stagnant and that reform is needed if the CPL is to remain a genuine feeder system for international cricket. This episode offers a candid discussion on the future of West Indies T20 cricket, the role of the CPL in shaping international squads, and what must change to give the team the best chance of success at the 2026 T20 World Cup. #PowettPlayPodcast #WestIndiesCricket #CPL2025 #T20WorldCup #CaribbeanCricket #CPLDraft #CricketPodcast #T20Cricket #CPLT20 #CricketWestIndies #CaribbeanPremierLeague #CricketDebate #EmergingTalent #FutureStars #CPLCricket #KieranPowell #T20Cricket #BiggestPartyInSport #CricketPlayedLouder #WorldCup Learn more about your ad choices.

A packed schedule seemed to take its toll on players from both sides and with now no red ball cricket until the start of The Ashes in November, will poor scheduling affect England's preparation for yet another big series. Not forgetting the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka that follows The Ashes tour within days!?!?

In this episode of the PowettPlay Podcast, hosts Jordan Shannon and West Indies star Kieran Powell dive into a full match review of the 1st T20 between West Indies and Australia in Jamaica. Despite a solid showing, the West Indies fell short as Australia claimed the victory but Kieran has his say on what worked, what didn't, and what must improve heading into the rest of the series. The duo break down Shai Hope's return to the top of the order, a composed knock from captain and a standout 60-run innings from Roston Chase, who top-scored for the Windies.

Award-winning actor Fiona Shaw has starred in Killing Eve, Bad Sisters, Fleabag, True Detective: Night Country, Echo Valley and even as Aunt Petunia in Harry Potter, among many other things. She's won and been nominated for several Laurence Olivier awards for her work on stage and she's even directed opera. Now starring in a new film adaptation of Deborah Levy's novel, Hot Milk, Fiona plays Rose, who goes to Almería, Spain with her daughter, Sofia, played by the brilliant Emma Mackey, to try to find a cure for Rose's mysterious paralysis at an experimental clinic. Fiona joins Nuala McGovern live in the studio to discuss it.The Scottish Parliament is looking for opinions on a proposed bill which would change the laws on prostitution in the country. It targets those who buy sexual services by creating a new criminal offence of paying for a sexual act. If passed, it would criminalise those buying sex, while decriminalising those selling it. The woman behind the bill, MSP Ash Regan, speaks to Woman's Hour about why she wants the change, and responds to criticisms that it could make sex work less safe. Today government ministers have launched a review of UK parental leave and pay to reset the system and speaking yesterday the Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said people were scared of having children because of the high costs and she wanted “more young people to have children, if they so choose”. But getting to become a parent can sometimes require ongoing fertility treatment meaning time away from work. And Fertility Matters at Work are calling for those undergoing this support to have the legal right to take time off for their appointments. They've published a report on it and the author Becky Kearns joins Nuala. She's the co-founder and CEO of Fertility Matters at Work.

Women's cricket in England has been through trials and tribulations recently. The team lost 16-0 to Australia in the Women's Ashes at the start of this year, and were knocked out of the T20 World Cup at the end of last year. But in June, after the appointment of a new coach and captain, had a clean sweep in their T20 series against the West Indies. Now they're facing India in a series of T20 matches, and suffered a defeat in their first match. Player, commentator and podcast host Melissa Story shares her thoughts on the team's performance, as well as what's happening in women's cricket on a local level.

Dream Sports, the company behind Dream11, just bought a piece of Cricbuzz from Times Internet for $50 million. It also bought a stake in Willow TV, a cricket broadcaster in the U.S.As you probably know, Dream11's core business is fantasy sports. But no thanks to new taxes and regulatory friction, their business isn't looking so good lately. Revenue projections are down, growth is slowing, and they haven't raised fresh money since 2021.Cricbuzz, meanwhile,  has hundreds of millions of monthly visits. That too mostly young users which is exactly the kind of crowd Dream11 wants to tap in to. And Willow TV brings in the U.S. diaspora just when cricket is having its moment in the US, driven largely by South Asian immigrants. The country even hosted the T20 World Cup last year. Together, the two open the doors for Dream Sports  to expand, engage, and maybe also survive.But here's the real kicker. Dream Sports only bought a minority stake. Why play small in a high-stakes game? And who's actually the real winner in all of this?Tune in to find out.

On this week's Stumped, Alison Mitchell, Brett Sprigg and Charu Sharmu discuss India's dominance of the men's white ball game - will it continue all the way through to next year's T20 World Cup and beyond? It's after India added the Champions Trophy to the T20 World Cup they won in Barbados last year. Virat Kohli reckons this current squad has enough talent to "take on the world" for the next eight years. We speak to Cricket Australia's outgoing Chief Executive Nick Hockley. He's standing down at the end of this month after five years in charge. He tells us the controversial resignation of men's Test captain Tim Paine was one of the most challenging periods of his tenure, but that he and Paine have since spent a lot of time together and he backs him to have a long and successful coaching career.He also told us he believes support for the Afghanistan women's team will continue after his departure and that the controversial decision to mark 150 years of England against Australia with a day/night game can celebrate the history of the game whilst also nodding to the future.Plus, we look at what Harry Brook's decision to withdraw from the upcoming Indian Premier League means for him and England.Photo: Virat Kohli of India and teammate Rohit Sharma celebrate following the team's victory in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Final between India and New Zealand at Dubai International Stadium on March 09, 2025 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Also this week, some Champions Trophy wash-up, Steve Smith's ODI retirement, South Australia on track for a domestic double, while the Shield final might be moved to Adelaide Oval if the logistics can be pulled off. Also this week Sabina Park won't have lights in time for their own pink-ball Test in Jamaica, the regional women's T20 World Cup qualifiers are coming up with our favourite Brazil team involved, and perhaps the first case of a player being dismissed in cricket for having fallen asleep.

Is Rohit's India the best in ODI history? India clinched the Champions Trophy 2025 by beating New Zealand. Rohit Sharma's team played a dominant campaign, winning the title without losing a single game. Since taking over the team, Rohit has changed the culture in the Indian team, first under the stewardship of Rahul Dravid and then Gautam Gambhir. This has resulted in India dominating the ICC white-ball competitions, where they reached the final in the 2023 ODI World Cup and won two trophies in 2024 (T20 World Cup) and 2025 (Champions Trophy). So, where does that put Rohit on the list of incredible white-ball captains that India has had? And where does this Indian team rank in terms of the best white-ball sides in the world? In this episode of the Sledging Room Podcast, Akshay Ramesh, Kingshuk Kusari, and Alan John review the Champions Trophy Final and shed light on all the talking points of the tournament. Stick around till the end, where Akshay continues to ask his weekly trivia question. Produced by Prateek Lidhoo Sound mix by Suraj Singh

And arguably England's greatest ever bowler Jimmy Anderson finally hung up his boots this year, when he retired from international cricket. He joined the team to talk about retirement, personal loss and what is next for both himself and England.Photo: Cricket fans cheer and wave the Indian flag during the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium at Eisenhower Memorial Park in East Meadow, New York on June 9, 2024(Photo by J.

Two big names from two remarkable stories in Test cricket are on the programme.New Zealand's men created history by securing their first ever Test series victory in India - ending India's run of eighteen consecutive Test series wins at home over a dominant period of twelve years. Rachin Ravindra, Player of the Match from the opening Test of the series, tells Alison there is nothing like a Test win for your country, how he was inspired by the ‘golden generation' of New Zealand cricket - and his hopes of meeting Sachin Tendulkar.Pakistan Test captain Shan Masood tells Stumped how they arrested a slump in fortune to earn an incredible come-from-behind win over England - their first series win at home in nearly four years. Masood talks about the team finding “balance in the middle of chaos”, the precarious nature of captaincy, and the future of dropped batting star Babar Azam.Alison, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma all reflect on the recent success for both New Zealand and Pakistan.Photo: General view of play during an ICC Men's T20 World Cup match between Pakistan and New Zealand.

With MPs set to vote on a bill that puts forward proposals to give terminally ill people the right to end their lives, many of those who are against the bill worry about the lack of nuance put forward in debates. Actress and disability rights activist Liz Carr is one of those people. In this week's Bush Telegraph, ahead of the bill's introduction to parliament next week, Hannah chats to Liz about her documentary Better Off Dead?, the arguments against assisted dying, and why we aren't hearing a more balanced debate on the subject. Meanwhile in sport, Jen catches us up with the women's T20 World Cup, and looks ahead to the UCI Track Cycling World Championships, next week. Learn more about your ad choices.

Because for the first time ever, Team USA has drawn global attention, after shocking the world in an upset over Pakistan last Thursday.

Happy Friday! We're back in the swing. Team USA just defeated Pakistan at Cricket at the T20 World Cup yesterday and it's their national sport! Is Miss Maryland is a dude? Yes but Miss USA is NOT the same as Miss America. Is Miss Alabama is a house? Yes but that was “National American Miss” not Miss America. It's very confusing. Ukraine confirmed this week that US-made weapons have struck targets inside Russia, all but assuring we're gearing up for WW3. Former Vice President Joe Biden is pandering hard after Donald Trump's bogus guilty charge did not hurt him in the polls. Mexico just elected its first female president for some reason. We're all getting hyped for Alien: Romulus so we're peeping the trailer today, and so much more!GUEST: Josh Firestine & Lane the BrainSOURCES: https://www.louderwithcrowder.com/sources-june-7-2024Join MugClub to watch this show every day! http://louderwithcrowder.com/mugclub NEW MERCH! https://crowdershop.com/ Subscribe to my podcast: https://rss.com/podcasts/louder-with-crowder/ FOLLOW ME: Website: https://louderwithcrowder.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/scrowder Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/louderwithcrowder Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stevencrowderofficial Music by @Pogo
