Tim Bresnan looking forward to new challenge

By IANS,

Hyderabad: Tim Bresnan, who will be spearheading England’s bowling attack in the five-match one-day series against India, says he is looking forward to the challenge.

He, however, said he would strive to further improve his performance.

“We are still looking to improve further,” he told media persons during an interaction here Wednesday.

The pacer said he was looking forward to the challenge of taking on India in India. He feels it would be a different challenge for English bowlers despite the fact that they dominated the Indian batsmen in both the test and one-day series back home.

“It’s a new challenge for us. We are going into this series with exactly the same mentality with which we won,” he said referring to the 4-0 and 3-0 margin wins in the test and one-day series.

Bresnan believes the conditions in India would be tough for the seamers. “In England you may gather some seam when the ball is new. With wickets playing different here, it will be a challenge. We have to bowl very tightly and straight,” he said.

The pacer is confident that the young bowlers of England have the ability to pick up early wickets.

“We need to overcome the opposition no matter who are playing and who are not,” he said when asked about the absence of Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag.
