“If I am picked as part of a two-man seam attack, I might be used in a strike-bowling capacity. In the subcontinent you need to have a degree of patience and use your skills wisely,” said Finn.

With fellow pacer Stuart Broad yet to get a wicket in the series and bowling coach David Saker describing his form as an “issue”, Finn might find favour of the selectors in the upcoming match.

“India has a great batting line-up and to get the wicket of somebody you have admired as you grew would be quite a big thing,” said Finn on his aspiration to get the prize wicket of batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar.
