I&#39;m looking forward and I have prepared myself really well,&quot; Rahane told reporters on sidelines of an event here. Also check what <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/west-indies-conditions-will-be-similar-to-india-says-shami--17220\">Mohammed Shami Said ahead of West Indies tour<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I am sure it will be challenging because West Indies is a decent team. We will give respect to them and it is important to start well in the series,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Indian team will be touring the Caribbean nation for a three-match Test series, with the first game beginning at North Sound, Antigua on July 21.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>About his Role as Vice captain<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It is a good responsibility as a vice-captain and I love facing challenges and love taking responsibility, so it&#39;s not pressure, but I think responsibility will bring best out of me,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;As you (the reporter) mentioned about the last Zimbabwe tour (in 2015, wherein he captained the ODI side), I really learnt a lot as a captain in Zimbabwe from my teammates, from opponents, and as a captain you know how to back your players, support your players, whatever happens as a captain, you have to take all the responsibility and I really learnt from that tour,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
