• Ireland takes over the PSL

  Two Irish players are currently playing T20 cricket in Pakistan, Josh Little and Curtis Campher. Their bowling coach, Cath Dalton, is a former Ireland international herself. Another coach with Irish links, Ian Butler, is working with Islamabad United. Given his work with the Northern Cricket Union, coaching players on the Irish development pathway, and the amount of commentary on how Ireland manages to develop young players, we spoke to Ian Butler on this episode of the Irish Cricket Podcast. Is the country any good at bringing young players through? How are we working past the financial and facility issues?Sponsored by Cricket EuropeContact: [email protected]: @irishcricketpod

• Is there room for politics in cricket?

  Amy Hunter was recently announced as an overseas signing for Surrey CCC. But the county's admin used a tricolour, not the official flag for players representing the entire island of Ireland, in the social media post announcing the signing. Does this innocuous error really matter? Ally McCalmont and Nathan Johns discuss the dwindling role the island's politics plays in cricket. The end of the women's qualifiers and the ongoing Wolves tour are also up for discussion, as is the upcoming club season in the NCU, NWCU and Leinster.

• A brutal week for Irish cricket

  Ireland women's World Cup qualification campaign went up in smoke inside six days. The Wolves side lost by an innings in their sole red ball game against Afghanistan, while the U19s struggled in Zimbabwe. At senior and junior level, the defeats are piling up for Irish cricket teams. Ally McCalmont and Nathan Johns conduct a postmortem. Where has it all gone wrong? Why is fielding such a concern for the senior women's side? Who are the youngsters still standing out? Are there any green shoots to suggest things will improve? Should we just turn into a golf podcast instead?Sponsored by Cricket Europe. Get in touch via email [email protected]: @irishcricketpod

• Can Ireland qualify for the World Cup? - with Laura Delany

  On Wednesday, Ireland's women's team starts their bid to qualify for the ODI World Cup with a clash against Pakistan. Ally McAlmont and Nathan Johns come to you slightly earlier in the week than normal to preview their chances. We also have an exclusive interview with former captain Laura Delany. Have Ireland's chances been overly depleted by injury? Why is this side more comfortable in T20 rather than 50-over cricket? How has Delany adjusted to being back in the pack once the captaincy was given elsewhere last year?Get in touch: email [email protected] media: @irishcricketpod

• Who are Ireland's young players to watch?

  Over the next few weeks, Ireland women, Wolves and U19s all play in an important series of fixtures. With the U19s starting first, Nathan Johns and Ally McAlmont pick through which players are worth watching as those most likely to progress through to international level. We also chat through the upcoming start of the club season and how grounds around the country are getting ready for the summer ahead. Is there a disconnect between cricket people in the north of the country and the national sides? Get in touch on Twitter @irishcricketpod or email us at [email protected]
