The 24-year-old right-arm quick, who was part of the Indian squad as a net bowler during the ICC World Cup 2019 in England, believes his experience will help him prepare. He further said that he will look to give his 100 per cent if he gets a chance to replace an injured player on the tour of England.

"I have travelled as a net bowler with Team India to South Africa as well. I was with the squad during the 2019 World Cup in England also, was them during the home Test series against England. I have been with the Indian squad during Asia Cup also. It gives a very good opportunity. I am a standby bowler for the upcoming England tour and if someone gets injured I might get a chance to play. I will do my preparations for the tour. I have to play and give my 100 per cent," Avesh Khan told ESPNcricinfo.
