The one on the Rise of Cricket in Japan Artwork

The Cricket Slouch

A fun cricket podcast by a group of friends, who worship at the altar of the 22-yard strip bookended by 3 sticks. We love to talk cricket, have a laugh, include new people, express some polarising opinions (perhaps) and hope to help spread the word of the sport to far reaching corners. We try to keep it as kosher as we can, but there may be a few expletives every now and then. Huge thanks to Noman W and Umangi H for the brilliant podcast cover art. Tune composed using Garage Band and limited imagination.

The one on the Rise of Cricket in Japan

February 01, 2024 • S.P • Season 2 • Episode 20

In this episode, I sit with Alan Curr, Head of Operations at Japan Cricket Association and talk about the rise of Cricket there in the past 12 months, astonishing batting feats in the domestic leagues, their emerging talent, Charlie Hinze, improved fan and social engagement, developing strategic partnerships with MKI and Mizuno, and what the Olympics inclusion means for cricket there, and whether there is a possibility of Japanese robots doing mundane administrative tasks and bats made out of Japanese Willow !

We also talk about their upcoming assignments starting with the ACC Challenger Cup in Thailand and other tournaments this year.
