With Tim and Bes out of action, Nick is joined by EC contributor Tom Grunshaw as they interview UAE men's captain Ahmed Raza to discuss the year gone by and take stock of the game in the Emirates. Raza talks about the challenges of staying sharp in a quiet year for the national team, enthuses about the young prospects coming through men's and women's development pathways, and give his thoughts on how his side could benefit more from the cricket that is often played in the UAE.
Tom and Nick also chat about the year gone by, and go through some highlights and lowlights from 2021.
