On this week's ICC Cricket World audio show Zimbabwe's wicketkeeper-batsman Brendan Taylor talks about the recently concluded triangular series in Bulawayo and Harare which saw the host finish runner-up to Sri Lanka.

"We're happy with our performance in the recent series and are looking to go from strength to strength.

"I am fortunate to be part of a pretty successful team, a young team which is improving all the time. We're extremely grateful that India and Sri Lanka came to compete against us. They may not have sent all their top players but they sent players that were extremely good and challenging to us," says Taylor.

Joining Taylor on the show this week is Zimbabwe's chief selector, Alistair Campbell who discusses the progress his country is making in cricket.

"With the appointment of new national team coach, Alan Butcher, and the return of the likes of Grant Flower, Heath Streak and Dave Houghton things are progressing well with the side," says the former left-handed batsman.

"This recent series has helped us to showcase to the world that we have turned a page with our progress as a side, as a country and also in as far as how Zimbabwe Cricket is concerned."

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, the Netherlands captain Peter Borren looks ahead to the ICC World Cricket League Division 1 tournament which his country is hosting next month.

"Our target is to win the tournament. This Division 1 tournament is very competitive but anyone can beat anyone. We're confident on the back of some good performances as a side and we're hoping we can win the tournament," comments Borren.

"I think teams coming to the Netherlands will find the pitches pretty reasonable, the bowlers might find them a little slow and not with a lot of bounce, which is something we're pretty used to here in the Netherlands," shares the 26-year-old captain.

Apart from the above interviews, the show has the usual round up of cricketing news and an update of the Reliance Mobile ICC Player Rankings for Test and ODI cricket.

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.
