Mustafizur Rahman returns in Test squad for Sri Lanka tour, Kayes dropped<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n"Everyone has his opinion. Good luck to him. We are not worried about what everyone believes and thinks about this team. We have got a really strong squad with unbelievable talent in the room out there. We have got good leaders with David Warner as vice-captain and Steve Smith as captain. There are some very young talents," Lyon said here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"We are confident in our change room. We'll come out and compete hard with India. We know it's going to be hard work, we know it's going to be a challenge. India are the No. 1 side for a reason. We're playing in their backyard. We don't expect our big fast bowlers to come out and get them five down (on the first day). It's a big challenge for us. We are looking forward to it," he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Hailing his Indian counterpart Ravichandran Ashwin as a "world-class" spinner, Lyon revealed that he had worked on a few things in his bowling after watching footages of the Chennai tweaker.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I have watched a lot of Ashwin. He is a world class bowler and I can learn a lot from him. I'm not going to tell you what I have been working on. I definitely changed my approach to the subcontinent conditions as compared to four years ago," said Lyon, who has 228 wickets from 63 Tests.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I have been watching a lot of footage of Ashwin, the way he goes about it, his different release points. He is a world-class spinner, the best at the moment in the world, there is a reason for it. Been studying him a lot, hopefully I can put that in play," he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Currently the leader of Australia's spin attack, Lyon said he is using the opportunity to help out the young spinners in the side.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I'm enjoying the responsibility, doesn't add any more pressure. Our job is to bowl well together and in partnership and put pressure. I am looking at this as a chance to pass knowledge to some, especially the younger spinners who have not toured here before," the 29-year-old said.<\/p>\r\n",
