    PowettPlay Podcast - Episode 43: The Split Coach Debate
    Aug 29 2024
    In Episode 43 of the PowettPlay Podcast, hosts Jordan Shannon and Kieran Powell tackle one of the hottest topics in international cricket: the impact of split coaching roles. As more teams adopt specialised coaches for white-ball and red-ball formats, Jordan and Kieran explore how this strategy influences team performance and dynamics. Is being a white-ball coach really easier given the sheer volume of limited-overs cricket, or does the fast-paced schedule make it even more challenging? The discussion then shifts to the broader issue of cricket's increasingly hectic schedule. The hosts delve into the balancing act between international fixtures and the rise of franchise leagues, questioning whether the current volume of cricket is sustainable. Kieran also introduces a thought-provoking idea: franchise Test cricket. He breaks down how this concept could work, sparking a fascinating debate on the future of the longest format of the game. Tune in for an insightful and forward-thinking conversation that every cricket fan will want to hear. Whether you're a purist or a fan of the shorter formats, this episode has something for everyone.
