BRISBANE, Aug 11: Australian fast bowler Michael Kasprowicz has said that the forthcoming seven-match One-day International tour of India in October should be a challenge for his side in difficult bowling conditions.

Kasprowicz added that the series promises to be an exciting build-up to India’s return tour starting in December, which includes three Tests and a triangular ODI tournament also featuring Sri Lanka.

“It’s going to be good cricket,” Kasprowicz said. “Australia are the world champions. It will be a good test for them in India, where conditions are tough.”—Agencies
