Sydney, Feb 23 Ready to return to action after a brief break, Australian speedster Brett Lee said he wants to test himself in tomorrow's tri-series one-dayer against India whom he considers one of the toughest sides to beat.

Lee gave enough indication that Australia would face a tough fight if India made it to the best-of-three finals.

"Sri Lanka and India are very hard teams to play against but for the moment, it looks India is the toughest side to beat.

"If India gets a great start, they are very hard to pull back... A few guys in Sri Lanka can also fire. It's a tough question but I've always enjoyed playing against India, testing yourself against Sachin Tendulkar. If you can prove yourself against the best, you know you are going alright," the fast bowler said.

Lee has taken a lot of workload during the current season but feels refreshed after resting for Australia's previous two tri-series games.

"I will play tomorrow. We have had this thing through our sports scientists which showed I have bowled well above the limit I should have bowled this summer. But I have been allowed (a rest) to freshen up and would be ready to steam in again tomorrow," claimed Lee. PTI
