"The series will be tough for me in several ways, like different balls to be used in the series and tough weather conditions in which the Tests would be played," Kaneria said.

"But the bottomline is that it will be a new series and we as a team will not try to live in the past glories and would try to extend our success run," Kaneria, who sparkled in Pakistan's recent victory against England, told PTI in an interview.

The 25-year-old, who took 19 wickets against India last year, said the Tests would be played in the chilli Punjab weather that would make it difficult for spinners to bowl.

"The fingers take time to warmup and sometimes you struggle to properly use the wrist. I think my experience with Essex would help me in the series against India in more than one way," he said.

Kaneria said he was getting adjusted to playing with different kind of balls in international cricket as he bowled with SG balls in India and Australian kookaburras against England at home.

"The SG balls have lifted seam but after 15 overs or so, the seam softens whereas the Kookaburra balls don't have lifted seam at all," said the second most successful Pakistani bowler after paceman Shoaib Akhtar, with 143 Test wickets including 26 from five Tests against India.
