Hyderabad:
"Any position, any number," Badrinath said, when asked what would be his preferred position if he gets picked in the playing XI.
"It has been a dream for me and if I make my Test debut against Australia, world's number one team, it just could not get better," a beaming Badrinath said after the net session here on the eve of Board President XI's warm-up match against Australia here.
Badrinath said the practice match would help him get a fair idea about the Australian side.
"The match now becomes even more important for me, because it allows me play against the same Australian players whom I might face again in the Test series," he said.
Assessing the Aussies, Badrinath said it would be a challenge to face the Australian attack.
"They have a great pace bowling attack but I think thei spin department is little weak and inexperience," he observed.
Runs have flowed from Badrinath's blade in domestic cricket and the 28-year-old three-ODI veteran is also one of the most athletic fielders around.
"I enjoy fielding and I hope to contribute to the team's cause with both my batting and fielding," said the Tamil Nadu batsman.
