<p>Pujara, who will captain India ‘A’, said he was looking forward to grabbing the opportunity with both hands during the month-long tour of England beginning on June 5.<br /><br />“The conditions will be difficult there and in West Indies ‘A’ and England Lions, we have stiff opposition. If you do well, you are almost there in the Indian side. I am really looking forward to it,” Pujara said.<br /><br />“I am not nervous but yes, it will be a tough and challenging job. I need to handle many things, I have to bring the best out of the side. It’s a team game, we have to help each other. I am sure it will be a wonderful experience,” Pujara, who admires Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s leadership qualities, said.<br /><br />Pujara said his experience with Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League would help him in England.<br /><br />“I have learnt a lot being with KKR. It was really of great help sharing the dressing room with the likes of Sourav Ganguly, David Hussey and Chris Gayle. I hope my KKR experience will help me,” said the 22-year-old.<br /><br />Pujara, who has three triple centuries to his credit in the 2008-09 Ranji season, said, “This is the first time I am leading the country in an international assignment. It’s a great feeling to lead India ‘A’.<br /><br />“At the same time, I have a reputation to defend,” he said, referring to the Virat Kohli-led side winning the Emerging Players’ Series in Australia last year.</p>
