The associate and affiliate podcast is an attempt to expand coverage of associate tournaments by obtaining local knowledge of the relevant nations. If you have or intend to go to a tournament at associate level - men's women's, ICC, unaffiliated - then please get in touch in the comments or by email.

Episode three and Andrew Nixon (@andrewnixon79) and I are getting the hang of things. Avi Singh (@mannerofspeakin), ESPN Cricinfo and CricHQ scorer and commentator, Ellerslie CC every-man, and Auckland local, joins us to discuss the East-Asia Pacific T20 Championship and Papua New Guinea's matches against New Zealand professionals. We discuss the key players and differences between the winners and those below; whether EAP needs to bring back the second division; the relationship between the Polynesian nations and New Zealand cricket; and getting local media interested in tournaments. Andrew and I then look back on Americas Division 2, the victory of the Bahamas, and the unusual and unfortunate decline of Argentina; discuss the performance of associate players in the Bangladesh Premier League and the benefits, or not for associate sides; and look ahead to Africa Division 1 in Uganda.
