In this episode we hear from Vipers leg-spin bowler Nathan Sowter, a man who has racked up the miles in pursuit of his craft in 2024.
The man Director of Cricket Tom Moody christened 'the racing snake' for his agility and speed in the field, Nathan made his debut for the Vipers in season two of the DP World ILT20 and impressed everyone, not only with the quality of his cricket, but also with his attitude around the squad, which was first-class.
His experience of the tournament was the start of a busy year as Nathan then headed to Zimbabwe for a T20 tournament with his county side Durham before helping the team to the quarter-finals of the T20 Blast in the UK, after which he was voted their player of the tournament by his team-mates.
Between the group stage and the quarter-final of the T20 Blast, Nathan slotted in for The Oval Invincibles in the men’s Hundred and, as was the case in 2023, he was part of the winning team in that competition.
And just when he thought his season was drawing to a close then he got a call from the Caribbean and joined the Guyana Amazon Warriors to deputise for their injured leg-spinner Imran Tahir.
But that wasn’t it for the year as Nathan then headed to Nepal to play in that country’s inaugural Nepal Premier League.
So many tournaments then, so much cricket for Nathan, and he tells us all about it here on Vipers Voices, as well as discussing his advocacy for the Vipers’ sustainability initiatives, his excitement at the prospect of once again working alongside Sri Lanka leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga, and how he rates the side’s chances of success in the upcoming action.
The logo for this episode is PalmFit, the UAE company that is producing the Vipers' kit for season three; it is something Nathan refers to in the podcast.
