Chennai, Feb 18 (PTI) Back in the Test squad after a four-year hiatus, comeback man Lakshmipathy Balaji reckons it would be just a matter of finding a rhythm in New Zealand and wickets would automatically follow.
The lanky Tamil Nadu pacer believes he has regained the lost touch and is not perturbed either by the conditions in New Zealand or the varying tracks there.
"I am not unduly worried about the condition of pitches in New Zealand. Of course it is going to be challenging, particularly because of the weather. But as an international cricketer, I am confident of adapting to the conditions.
"So long as I keep my rhythm, other things will fall in place," Balaji told PTI over phone from Visakhapatnam.
Once he is on song, Balaji said neither the nature of the track nor the atmosphere could affect his rhythm.
"The atmosphere around or the conditions of the pitch does not affect me or my rhythm. I just need to be focused to my job, the job of maintaining the line and length and take wickets", he said.
Balaji is particularly happy with the way his body has responded after returning from a stress fracture that threatened his career. PTI
