PCCI Podcast
This is the official pod for all cricket tragics. From the trauma of the 90s to the heights of the Noughties, if you are a cricket fan, this is the pod for you. Also, if you love the niche and the obscure discussions around cricket (color of TV graphics in the 90s, broadcast theme music), this is also the pod for you. This is as much the pod for a Noel David fan as it is for an ABD fan!

Talking Cricket with Mohammad Isam
Mohammad Isam is Bangladesh cricket’s leading voice and has been writing on cricket for over 15 years, first with The Daily Star and what will be 12 years very soon for ESPN Cricinfo. Isam bhai has a bird’s eye view of Bangladesh Cricket and looks at the game not just as a journalist but also as someone who played the game with many of the players who have or are currently playing in the national setup.
In this freewheeling chat, we discuss at length what happened in the Afghanistan Bangladesh game in the 2024 T20 WC, the larger context around Bangladesh cricket, influence of social media on the team and it’s management, eerie similarities to the Indian Cricket team in the 1990’s, the burden of being Bangladesh with the shadow of India and Pakistan, anecdotes on many cricketers known and unknown, remembered and forgotten, fast bowling arsenal for the future, business ideas for Asian nations barring India, chances of Bangladesh being overdogs by playing more with Associate nations, the vagaries of the first class structure which ends up governing the Bangladesh Cricket Board and book recommendations.
