in India against the host side, which was last month annihilated by the Poms as they won the four-match Test series by 4-0 and then went on to humiliate the reining One Day International (ODI) champions by 3-0 in a five-match one-day series.
Talking to Sky News, Bell said, “It's going to be a big challenge for us, no doubt. We've played some good cricket. We've made some strides forward with the way we were playing against India in the summer, but it's a massive challenge now to come and do
that in India. We're looking forward to that challenge.”
England are scheduled to play five one-day matches followed by a solitary Twenty20 match in the series set to begin from October 14, 2011.
