    West Indies Cricket: The Eventual Decline | Part 2 – The Point of Inflexion (1995–2025)

    West Indies’ decline was not sudden. It was structural, political, and quietly inevitable. Part 2 of this two-part series examines the point of inflexion from 1995 onwards, when dominance faded, governance fractures widened, and cricket slowly stopped binding the Caribbean together. From contractual disputes, player walkouts, and the rise of the freelance cricketer, to statistical decay across formats and repeated failures to qualify for global tournaments, this episode looks beyond scorecards to understand what truly unraveled behind the scenes. #westindiescricket #icc #testcricket #odicricket #t20cricket #cricketgoverningbody #cricketwestindies  00:25 - Intro: The Inflexion Point (1995) 03:09 - Commercialization & Board–Player Breakdown (1995–2004) 15:26 - The Freelance Era Begins (2005–2014) 22:42 - Decline Across Formats (2014–2019) 23:46 - Collapse and Missed World Cups (2020–2025) 29:20 - What Comes Next? 🎧 Listen, Read, Follow: https://ecosystem.cricktake.com/ Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Instagram, TikTok, Substack & Medium.

    Cricket x Economics: Uncovering ICC's Motives

    Cricket has never been just about skill or results. Behind every tournament, format shift, and scheduling decision lies a deeper game of money, incentives, and power. From revenue concentration to unequal growth, the modern structure of cricket tells a story that fans rarely pause to question. This episode of Cricktake breaks down the economics behind ICC’s decisions. Joined by our first-ever guest, an Economics PhD Student, we examine how cricket’s financial boom reshaped governance, why money doesn’t automatically improve quality, how associate nations are left behind, and whether ICC today acts more like a governing body or an economic institution. A clear-eyed look at who benefits, who doesn’t, and where the game may be headed if nothing changes. #icc #cricket #cricketgoverningbody #bcci #ipl #economics  02:06 – What Is the Economics of Cricket 06:09 – How ICC Revenues Exploded 12:38 – Why the IPL Became Inevitable 27:48 – Does Money Actually Improve Cricket? 32:00 – Revenue Concentration & The India Question 42:57 – Associate Nations & Unequal Growth 58:56 – Final Verdict: What ICC is Doing Well and Where it can Improve RELATED EPISODES West Indies Cricket: The Eventual Decline (Part 1) 👉 https://youtu.be/rKdZfmh9UuY Unwrapping Asia Cup 2025 👉 https://youtu.be/ciN4b6bsiEU The Ultimate ‘Test’: Saving Test Cricket 👉 https://youtu.be/thqxof0N-0U 🎧 Listen, Read, Follow: https://ecosystem.cricktake.com/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cricktake/id1849728711 Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Instagram, TikTok, Substack & Medium.

    Cricket's Forgotten Daughters

    Before the men lifted their first World Cup in 1975, the women had already done it in 1973. Yet that story was quietly forgotten. This episode of Cricktake revisits the rise, neglect, and revival of women’s cricket - from Rachael Heyhoe Flint’s pioneering World Cup to the WPL’s packed stadiums and Australia’s blueprint for professionalization. We explore how gender-bland sexism, selective memory, and structural bias shaped the sport’s past, and ask a simple question that still echoes today: When will women’s cricket truly be seen as equal and not exceptional? 00:07 - Introduction: The story cricket forgot 02:16 - Segment 1: The Forgotten Past - 1973, erasure, and the gendered narrative 12:54 - Segment 2: The Present - WPL, visibility vs. equity, and lived realities 30:28 - Segment 3: What’s Next - Australia’s blueprint, India’s breakout, and the global roadmap 🎧 Listen, Read, Follow: https://ecosystem.cricktake.com/ Available on Spotify, Amazon Music, Instagram, X, TikTok, Substack & Medium.

    Unwrapping Asia Cup 2025

Cricktake unwraps the tournament through its turning points, from Afghanistan’s struggle and Sri Lanka’s rise to the determined efforts of the UAE, Oman, and Hong Kong, revealing how structure and skill continue to shape Asian cricket’s story.
