"It's been a good few days," Bairstow told reporters in Hyderabad, the venue for England's first warm-up game ahead of the five-match ODI series. "I've not been here long but it is definitely an experience. Without a doubt it's happened more quickly than I thought. It's a pleasant surprise. It's a fantastic opportunity, every day and training session. Hopefully I'll take it with both hands."
Bairstow, 22, has kept wicket for Yorkshire but is yet to do so for England with Craig Kieswetter being the preferred choice. However, Bairstow will keep wicket in England's first warm-up game in the absence of Kieswetter, who is representing Somerset in the ongoing Champions League Twenty20. "I'd like to think I could be selected for England as a batsman but everyone wants to have a 'keeper who can bat'," Bairstow said.
