"It's a fresh challenge for me and I'm looking forward because it is a chance for us to beat India in India," Bresnan told reporters. "We are going into this series with exactly the same mentality with which we won in England." England beat world champion India 3-0 in a recent five-game series at home while also blanking it 4-0 in tests and winning a one-off Twenty20 game.

But Bresnan said Indian conditions would pose different challenges in the upcoming five one-dayers and one Twenty20 game.

"It's obviously different from England but it will be fun and challenging here because wickets are flatter and have less bounce," said Bresnan, who has taken 63 wickets in 52 one-dayers.

The 26-year-old Bresnan said the team still had a good pace attack despite the absence of experienced seamers Stuart Broad and James Anderson.

Broad is injured, while Anderson has been rested for the tour.

"We've got a lot of talent and I am looking forward to see the team in action. There is (Steve) Finn who is fairly experienced and we also have others with experience in county cricket and who know how to bowl in different conditions," he added.

Jade Dernbach, uncapped Stuart Meaker and Chris Woakes are the other seamers in the England team.

"We've to be careful how we bowl with the new ball," Bresnan said. "We have to bowl tight, keep it straight and accurate, otherwise we will go for a lot of runs. Early wickets will be the key for us." India has announced a depleted team for the first two games in Hyderabad and New Delhi.

Star batsman Sachin Tendulkar, flamboyant opener Virender Sehwag, pace spearhead Zaheer Khan and his fellow seamer Munaf Patel are among those not available due to injuries while senior spinner Harbhajan Singh has been dropped by selectors.

England, which arrived in India on Tuesday, plays five one-dayers starting with a game in Hyderabad on Oct. 14. The tour culminates with a one-off Twenty20 fixture in Kolkata on Oct. 29.
