About this episode
Pete Johnston discusses Ireland's performance and prospects at the U19 World Cup.
Ireland are 0 from 2 at the U19s World Cup with a crucial winner-takes-all group game against Japan on Thursday. Ahead of that game, and after defeats to Australia and Sri Lanka to start that campaign, head coach Pete Johnston joins the podcast to give the word from camp. Who is impressing in the Namibia heat, and which young players have shown they have something to keep an eye on as they progress towards senior cricket?
