Episode 2: From Islamabad to the Japan National Team. An interview with Ibrahim Takahashi (Cricket in Japan)

In this episode, I speak to a Japanese-Pakistani cricketer, Ibrahim Takahashi, who was recently called up to the Japanese National team. Ibrahim—whose mother is Japanese and father is Pakistani—was born in Gotemba (Japan), but moved to Islamabad at a young age. Currently, he plays for the Chiba Sharks in Japan as well as the Junoon Cricket Club in Islamabad. He talked to me about his childhood, his bowling action modeled on Graeme Swann, as well as taking the wicket of the current Pakistan Chief Selector, Muhammad Wasim.
