Mumbai: England wicket-keeper batsman Jonny Bairstow feels it will be a different spin challenge against the likes of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja in the upcoming ODI series but there is no reason why England can’t do well here.

“Obviously the spin challenge will be different. Having faced Ashwin and Jadeja they have some good skils but that is well documented. It is a good challenge for us like the Indian guys look at a challenge when they come to England with the white ball swinging. You got people who have done well in World Twenty20, in Bangladesh and here during last two and half months. There is exposure and no reason to not do well here,” Bairstow who top scored with a 65-ball 64 in the six-wicket loss to India A on Thursday, said.

Bairstow felt that England had got what they desired from the practice games and backed skipper Eoin Morgan to come good in the three-match ODI series.
