About England's Batting

Some of the [England] batsmen are not in good form – that could be a plus for us – but we should be aware of the others.I think you really need to focus on all 11 players. England are really good especially in the lower-middle order, they can really hurt you.

About England's Bowling

It’s obviously an advantage when one of the main bowlers of your opposition is missing, but at the same time we know that all their bowlers are really good in these conditions. We need to be up to the mark.

The first test of the 4 match series will start from 14th July at Lords.
