Australian fast bowler Brett Lee today said his team is eager to win the forthcoming ICC Champions Trophy in England.
Lee, who was in New Delhi on a promotional tour for a major sports brand, said that Australia having never won the Champions Trophy, posed a challenge to the world champions.
"It's actually on the contrary that Australia has never won the Champions trophy. But now we have a challenge ahead of us. It starts in Holland. After that we have Champions trophy on 12th October, our first match is against US.
But Ricky Ponting's gone on record saying publicly that we are looking forward to a big series. We actually look forward to play with India," he said.
Lee, 26, said he was looking forward to having a bowl against India's top batsmen.
"Every opportunity that we get playing against India, it's great. I personally love coming to India ... Every opportunity we get to play against India is great as we get to play against Sachin endulkar, Virender Sehwag, Sourav Ganguly, who are awesome and who are the best within the top six in the world," he said.
