We weren't short of important things to talk about this week! We revisit the issues surround Afghanistan and its Women's players after Tracy Holmes' report, look into the spot-fixing drama in Nepal that adds to a long list of problems, discuss the Olympic news around 2028 and highlight the unbelievable efforts of Associates at the U19 Women's T20 World Cup!

They've done it! Rwanda stun Zimbabwe to progress to the next phase of the Women's U19 T20 World Cup, beating Zimbabwe.

We look at their performance and Indonesia in depth (we'll cover the campaign for every Associate next week).

Nick also catches up with Nate Hays with another eventful week in American cricket.

Is there ever a dull week in Associate cricket? Not to be outdone by the seismic shifts in the USA, organisers of the Nepal T20 overshadow the competition by fleeing the country without the money! We then look at the early surprises in U19WC warm-ups, with the tournament proper here at last!

Accidental scoops? Nate discovers Richard Done has departed USA, while Bes finds out the Challenge League cycle cut-off has been extended! We look at Nepal losing another head coach, plus action in Asia and Africa on the field!

Life got in the way of a sit-down record this week, but Bes has you covered with a news wrap, including Turkey losing their unwanted World Record!

The Cricket World Cup pathway is a little clearer after a plethora of one day cricket! Nick and Bes run through League 2 and Challenge League among other key events in the emerging world.
