India vs Australia | Motivated and want to win the series for my team, asserts Khaleel Ahmed

The Indian team management’s endeavour to add variety to the Indian pace attack by adding that elusive left-arm pacer who can fill in the void left by Zaheer Khan seems to have bore fruit. Khaleel Ahmed has managed to impress one and all by his performance, though he has only played six games each in both the formats for India in limited overs cricket.

"We have got a great captain in Virat Kohli. He is motivating. We have already won the Test series in Australia. It was our maiden one and I am sure we will win many more in the future. I am sure we will win the ODI series as well. It will be the cherry on the cake,” the pacer said.

"I observed each Australian batsman and watched their videos. Australian conditions are very different. They have bouncy and fast tracks. You need to bowl full deliveries on these pitches. It requires a lot of effort. I got to learn a lot. Bowling with the new ball is a big responsibility. It means the captain is showing faith in you. I am ready to bowl with old or new ball and in any situation for my team," the youngster said.

The ICC Cricket World Cup is scheduled to start from May 30 in England later this year. But the "Tonk Express" has asserted that he is not thinking too ahead and is solely focused on his current duties.
