Each week during the tournament, they bring a fresh team out to chat about the love, the passion, the rivalry and the biryani!
In the first innings, aka: the first episode, Noreen and team explore why Desis are obsessed with cricket. And whether or not cricket is bigger than football for Asian's in the UK. Plus, why is it that young Brits in this country support the likes of India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh ahead of England?
