Intro:

England's Stuart Broad and former India cricketer-turned commentator Ravi Shastri spoke in London on Tuesday (July 1) ahead of the England-India five-Test Series.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Ravi Shastri, Former Indian Cricket Captain:

"You know there are a lot of players here on there first tour of England. So it is a very young side, an inexperienced side but ambitious at the same time...the likes of (Cheteshwar) Pujara, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli for one and they will want to prove a point and get runs in, which is good. They have got an experienced captain and an experienced coach you know. So that should help. It is going to be historic anyway because it is a five Test series. It could set the tine for the future."

(question: would inexperience worry you?)

"We had experience in the past...and got hammered."
