In this episode, after a training session two days out from the opening encounter of the tournament, against the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders at the Dubai International Stadium on January the 21st,  we speak with Vipers Head Coach James Foster.

Switching from single-use to refillable water bottles is one way in which we’re working to reduce plastic in our team, and is one of our commitments to the Plastic Pledge, which we were proud to announce our commitment to last week.

This episode features an interview with Adam Hose after the batter top-scored with 39 from 21 balls in the Vipers’ warm-up match against the Dubai Capitals at the ICC Academy on Thursday evening.

This time we hear from Toby Gregory, the founder of The Plastic Pledge, which has joined forces with the Desert Vipers as a Sustainability Impact Partner for the next two years.

Speaking to the Vipers Voices podcast, Tom Moody said, “We were one step short last year, but we feel we have the depth and quality of our squad right and we just have to prepare in the last few days into our first game and hopefully we can get off to a winning start and reach the big dance.”

As the players continue to arrive and preparations both on and off the field in high gear, who better than to give us the lie of the land than Director of Cricket Tom Moody.
