Seales not intimidated by subcontinent conditions

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka – Rookie seamer Jayden Seales says the subcontinent conditions for the upcoming two-Test series will not force a curb in his enthusiasm, and plans to keep an open mind as he finetunes his preparation for the assignment.The 20-year-old is on his first overseas tour after making an impressive debut earlier this year against South Africa as a 19-year-old, and has so far taken 16 wickets from four Tests at an average of 21.With the dry conditions here known to present challenges for faster bowlers, Seales said his aim was to make a quick adjustment while continuing to give 100 per cent.

“Personally, I’m not too sure [what to expect] because it’s the first time I’m playing down here,” said the Trinidadian.“I will just have to assess the conditions as [best] as I can and bowl to the best of my ability when wanted for the team, and do as best as I can.”He added: “Once given the opportunity to play in this series, I have to try and remain economical and try and get early breakthroughs.“[I also have to] build as much pressure for the [other] bowlers and work hard for the team and hopefully we’ll get the results we’re after.”

Seales was a shock selection for the South Africa series, called up after having played only a single first class match, coming on the tour of New Zealand last year.He made an instant impact, however, snatching four wickets in his first Test, before taking his maiden five-wicket haul in the first Test against Pakistan in Kingston en route to eight-wicket match figures.Seales said he was pleased with his start to Test career and would use the Sri Lanka series to further establish himself.

Good lad this....very good attitude...I hope he does well. They are playing at Galle...Jimmy Anderson got many wickets a few month ago...that should our fast bowlers some encouragement.

BTW both Holder and Roach are ranked in the top 11 in ICC test ranking. And if Gabriel remains fit, Searles will be in good company and as young man will not be expected to lead the attack.
