About this episode

Nathan and Ally preview Irish cricket's prospects in the upcoming U19 World Cup and women's T20 World Cup qualifier.

Like the 46A (alternatively, insert your local bus of choice), Irish cricket tournaments come in twos after waiting an age just for one. The potential high point of the 2026 calendar in terms of matches played is upon us, with the U19 World Cup and women's T20 World Cup qualifier starting this week. Nathan and Ally preview Irish hopes in both competitions. Is this a vintage crop of the U19s? Can the women's side put their fielding woes behind them to finally reach another World Cup?
