HOVE: India's fielding coach Robin Singh said 'Test regulars' Anil Kumble, VVS Laxman and Wasim Jaffer were experienced enough to adapt quickly to the conditions despite a lack of match practice.

"Anil, Laxman and Jaffer are experienced players and they have experience in playing in these conditions, so that should not be a problem for them. They are as keen as others to go out and do well in the coming matches," Singh said on the eve of the four-day tour opener against Sussex county club.
   
Singh stressed on the importance of doing well in the practice matches, saying that it would help the team management a fair idea of the players' form and confidence.
   
"The practice game, not only this one, but the next one at Chelmsford as well, is important from the team's point of view. It gives us a chance to watch all the players before the Test matches," said Singh after the team's practice session at the Rosebowl.
   
"We have been preparing as well as we can for this tour and these two games is a good chance for us to make the polishing. Hopefully, the weather will stay clear."

Unlike in the one-day series against South Africa in Ireland, when India struggled with fitness, Singh underlined that all players were fit and raring to go.
   
"We have no injury worries at present and all are well and raring to go," he said.

The former India all-rounder said the team has been working really hard on all aspects of fielding.

"We are really working it out at the nets and the effort is showing gradually on the field. I am satisfied with the progress the guys have made in their fielding skills."
