New Zealand's fast bowler Tim Southee is desperate to make a comeback after being eliminated from the last Test played in Australia. He said, "I am waiting for the challenge in the upcoming series against India." Matt Henry Replaced Southee in the playing 11 after the first two matches against Australia.

On being dropped from the team, he said, "It is about adjusting and what happened with me was disappointing. He (Henry) must have learned a lot from it. Now I am waiting for the challenge from team India."

The team's then coach, Gary Stead, said Henry had more speed than Southee. Tim is expected to lead the bowling attack against India. He said he was disappointed about not getting a chance in the Sydney Test. He said, 'This is disappointing. You don't feel good when you don't get a chance. It is my dream to play every match for New Zealand and when it does not happen then it is frustrating, but you have to respect the decision and help the team as soon as possible.'
