World Cricket League Division four has been played and won. Andrew Nixon (@andrewnixon79) joins Russell Degnan (@idlesummers) to discuss the successes and failures (0:36). Thailand hosted the women's Asia T20 Cup with a rare chance to match the best regional associates against the full members, albeit with mixed results (15:48). There are I-Cup and World Cricket League matches between PNG and Namibia and Hong Kong and Kenya (16:58), with the latter shaping up to be a close finish. Hong Kong and PNG also faced off in some bilateral matches (29:20), and there are several sub-regional tournaments: the East Asia Cup (30:05), the men's and women's South American Championship (33:40) and matches involving Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia (36:40). In news, there is USACA of course, and the ICC's plans for women's European qualifiers and the test championship and the retirement of Preston Mommsen (39:15). Finally, we preview the UAE International Cup (58:35).
