  • Summary

  • It’s Not Just Cricket’ is a podcast that does exactly what it says on the tin – it’s about cricket, but not just cricket! Azeem Rafiq - the man who rocked the sport in 2020 with his seismic revelations of racism - and experienced broadcaster Matt Kabir Floyd take an opinionated look at the big stories affecting world cricket and other sports on and off the pitch. A British Pakistani from Barnsley and an Anglo Indian from London, the two of them certainly don’t agree on everything and are more than happy to vociferously argue their point. Using their widespread contacts in sport and politics they bring in regular guests of note to help debate the topics of the day. Nothing is off the table! New episodes every Wednesday and look out for other ‘bonus episodes’ throughout the week.

    Nov 20 2024
    There's a huge Test series on the horizon between Australia and India. The boys look at the selection issues India face before the 1st Test and debate over an article that claims the India/Australia rivalry is now bigger than the Ashes. Then they get into the IPL Auction - why is there confusion surrounding Jofra Archer and Mark Wood's involvement and which England players could go for big money deals? They both also have interesting takes on why the great Jimmy Anderson has put his name on the auction list. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Tom Brown on SACA
    Nov 13 2024
    Around 30% of recreational cricketers in England are British South Asians but only 5% of professional cricketers. Why is that and what can be done about it? Step forward Tom Brown, who co-founded SACA - the South Asian Cricket Academy - to help change those numbers and get more South Asians coming through to the professional game. Tom and Matt discuss how unconscious bias has played in big part in the lack of Asians making it and how SACA has already managed to produce a player for the England squad in Jafer Chohan.

    India lose a home Test series for the first time in 12 years but was it just a blip or a sign that an ageing side is now past it's peak? Meanwhile as we get set for an IPL Mega Auction, many big name players aren't retained by their franchises - but is this often down to the player himself? And the word on the street is that the Auction will take place in Riyadh - is this the first move as Saudi Arabia looks to become a major influence in cricket?! Learn more about your ad choices.
