“The game is about pulling the curtain to world’s sports tongue stories,” Grace explained. “I grew up in the cricket front and covered my biggest tournaments, but the moments that fascinate me most are outside the camera. The partnership with Willow allows me to share those raw, funny and inspiring interviews with athletes, artists and anyone who chases size.”Willow Todd Myers CEO considers Grace to be a perfect host who spans the gap between cricket and American viewers. “Grace’s knowledge of the game, combined with a confident presence on the screen, makes it a uniquely strong and authentic voice,” Myers said. “This podcast will bring authenticity, energy and a fresh voice that will resonate with long -term cricket fans and newcomers.”The timing could not have been better because the cricket gains strength in the United States. The launch of Major League cricket in 2023 brought international stars such as Ricky Ponting, Pat Cummins and Faf du Plessis. The country also hosted the Men T20 World Cup from 2024 ICC, New York, Dallas and Lauderhill.

Interestingly, cricket has deep roots in America. The first international cricket match was played between the US and Canada in 1844 at the St George cricket club in New York. However, the popularity of sport eventually retreated to baseball. Now, through initiatives such as Grace’s podcast, cricket focuses on getting its place in American sports culture.
