On this episode of the PowettPlay Podcast, hosts Jordan Shannon and West Indies international Kieran Powell dive into the future of West Indies cricket, using the current ICC Under-19 World Cup as a blueprint for long-term success. The conversation starts with player identification, as Kieran explain's why the U19 World Cup has been a success for West Indies cricket.
