In this episode of Close of Play, Sanjay Murthy is joined by former Australian international and West Indies coach Stuart Law to unpack one of cricket’s great underdog stories - Nepal’s first-ever victory over a full ICC member nation.

With insight, humour, and a coach’s eye for detail, Law reflects on what this result means not just for Nepal, but for the future of the global game. How does a team from the foothills of the Himalayas topple a two-time world champion? What does it reveal about opportunity, investment, and belief in emerging cricket nations?

From grassroots systems and player mentality to coaching philosophies and cricket’s shifting power map, this episode dives deep into the evolving world order of international cricket.

Close of Play brings together global voices and sharp minds to talk about the stories that shape the sport beyond the scorecard.
