On this week's ICC Cricket World Radio Show, Bangladesh vice-captain Mohammad Mahmadullah is joined by Pakistan's Younus Khan to look ahead to tomorrow's opening Test in Chittagong between the two sides.

Younus believes Bangladesh has a good attack to challenge the visitors ahead of its next major series against England in early 2012.

Younus says: "Bangladesh has a good side with the likes of Tamim Iqbal, Mohammed Ashraful returning, and Shakib al Hasan who is strong both with the bat and the ball. Combining Shakib with Rubel Hossain they really have some pace.

On the upcoming series against England in the UAE, he says: "Whenever you play against the top team in the world you want to perform well so I am looking forward to playing England. When I last played them in 2006 I played a good innings or two, especially the one at Trent Bridge. I'd like to do the same again."

Mahmudullah says: "I think the side is still very confident going into this series despite the fact we lost the ODI series. We know the conditions in Chittagong and they could really benefit us."

The show can be used in whole or part by radio stations that want free cricket content for editorial use, while the public can also download it straight from www.icc-cricket.com or from iTunes.

Also on the show, former greats - Ravi Shastri of India and Australia's Steve Waugh and Adam Gilchrist - look ahead to India's upcoming tour of Australia this winter.

Waugh says: "Australia versus India has an iconic status down under, especially with the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, who is a legend, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman coming with the newer players. It excites the public in Australia.

"It's become a major series, The Gavaskar-Border Trophy, it is a special trophy and almost on a par to the Ashes. I hope India think it will be their best chance to win, but I think we're very difficult to beat in Australia, in front of our home crowd it will be tough for the opposition."

Shastri adds on India's chance of a series victory in Australia: "I give them a good chance if their bowlers are fit. If the Australians prepare pitches with a bit of bounce and juice in them then it will be great - India's batting is now experienced and we have good youngsters and if Zaheer is fully fit for the Boxing Day Test it will make for a great series."

This show has been put together by the ICC's global broadcast partner, ESPN STAR Sports.
