Alan and Todd are finally wrapping up season 5 of the Japan Cricket Podcast with a review of February's Quad Series against Bahrain, Bhutan and hosts Thailand which ended in a dramatic finale complete with Super Over.

They also discuss the recently announced Japan Premier League Star Players and what that means for the competition ahead of the Draft on Tuesday 24th March.

There's a few other bits and pieces too, but you'll have to listen to find out what they are!

Alan and Todd are back to break down a momentous end to Japan's Under 19 World Cup campaign. Games against Australia and Ireland before the headline win over Tanzania.

And we've got our proper thumbnail back!

An incredible day at the Under 19 World Cup as Hugo Tani-Kelly became the first Japanese player to record a century.

Alan & Todd talk about the day, as well as recap the warm up match against the West Indies.

There's been plenty of technical difficulties so our apologies that the last episode only went out on YouTube and not the other platforms (not sure what happened there), but it is out now so this will go up a day later than we intended.

The team has arrived in Namibia for the Under 19 World Cup! Alan talks through some of the adventures had on the way to Africa and talks a bit about what life is like in Windhoek.

The Japan Under 19 team team got their World Cup preparations underway with a visit to the UAE for the ACC Premier Cup. Alan and Todd run through the results and stand out performers before running through the final 15 players selected to represent Japan in Namibia next month.

The domestic season in Japan is (almost) over with the major trophies all lifted. Alan and Todd discuss a stellar season for the Chiba Sharks as well as Todd's experience managing a domestic tournament in Japan.

The Embassy Cup, in all it's soggy glory, gets a look while Alan's headaches at the hands of the ACC are a theme that rears its head again in the lead up to the Under 19 Premier Cup.

Alan & Todd are not only podding from the same room, they're joined by special guest Kendel Kadowaki-Fleming, fresh from captaining Japan at the recent World Cup Qualifier in Oman.

The boys hear Kendel's thoughts about the venue, the performances and what the future holds.

Alan & Todd give a quick recap of the first official Super Six match under the lights in Oman.

A win for Japan makes the boys the unofficial EAP Champions, but it did not come easy against a spirited Samoa side.

So Japan knocked Kuwait out of the World Cup Qualifier and are heading into the Super Sixes!

Alan and Todd are back to discuss a famous night for the Japan Men's Team, plus what it was like to come up against Nepal in front of an excitable crowd.

There's also a bit of flag-based trivia thrown in for good measure.

Todd goes solo with a quick review of the Japan vs UAE match as part of the warm up preparation for the T20 World Cup Qualifier.
