"A lot of teams touring England have struggled there and for a young team like us, that is what we strive for. We love to be challenged, as individuals and as a team. We want to go there and give our best shot and show the world that that's the kind of cricket we play, that is how we take up the challenges. It should be great and interesting three months in the UK," said KL Rahul.
