175: It's just like watching Brazil - How the land of Pele is learning to love cricket

Roberta Moretti Avery of the Brazil Cricket Association joins James Buttler on this edition of the Cricket Badger Podcast to talk about the rise and rise of cricket in Brazil. It's a country known for soccer, but cricket was played there 20 years before a football was kicked. Since becoming an Affiliate member of the International Cricket Council in 2002 and an Associate member in 2017 the game is growing rapidly in prominence.    The coaching initiatives which started in the city of Pocos de Coldos have been incredibly successful. Cricket in Brazil is on the up. Listen to Roberta talk about on of the genuine good news stories of world cricket.  Thank you very much for listening and supporting the podcast!  Contact the show via Twitter on @cricket_badger or email us at [email protected].
