McCullum tips Yuvraj as a player to watch at WT20
On this week's ICC Cricket World, New Zealand wicketkeeper-batsman Brendon McCullum talks about the hopes of his side ahead of its opening game against Sri Lanka on 30 April in Guyana.
The 28-year-old also comments on which players are the ones to watch in the tournament that starts in 15 days in Guyana.
"It will depend on how we do on the day ? with Twenty20 cricket it really does depend on how any side does on any given day, whilst our group is probably not the hardest group going round there's no direct entry into the next round," says McCullum.
McCullum adds that there are a number of players from other teams he thinks could make a big impact. "I think Yuvraj Singh is a guy who will entertain a lot of audiences. Chris Gayle and Tillakaratne Dilshan are pretty amazing for West Indies and Sri Lanka," he says.
"I think on the bowling front guys like Shaun Tait are ones to watch and there are any number of guys round the world who can do well in the West Indies."
The show can be used in whole or part by radio stations that want cricket content, while the public can also download it straight from the ICC website at http://www.icc-cricket.com/media_interactive_zone/podcast.php.
Also on this week's show, Afghanistan coach and former Pakistan player Kabir Khan discusses his joy at the side winning the ACC Trophy in Kuwait and looks ahead to the side's trip to the West Indies for the ICC World Twenty20 2010.
"To be honest the players and all of us are excited about the first game against India. We want to fight hard and play tough cricket," says Kabir.
Alongside these interviews, MCC Chief Executive Keith Bradshaw shares his thoughts on Lord's becoming the temporary home ground for Pakistan when the venue hosts Pakistan versus Australia this summer.
Bradshaw says: "We feel that we have a global reach and we considered the issue Pakistan are facing and then we thought how we can help Pakistan board and thus we came up with the idea of hosting the team here at Lord's."
Apart from the above interviews, this week's ICC Cricket World also includes a round-up of the last seven days in cricket and an update on the Reliance Mobile ICC Player Rankings.
The weekly ICC Cricket World audio show runs for 15 minutes and has been put together by the ICC's global broadcast partner ESPN STAR Sports.
