"Whatever the situation demands, I'm willing to do it. If early wickets fall, I will try to bat for as long as possible. The type of pitch we play on will also dictate the way I have to play," the right-hander explained.
The 21-year-old was supposed to make his Test debut against India in the second Test at Kolkata, but he picked up a hand injury while fielding as a substitute in the first Test.
"I was prepared to make my Test debut against India but I got injured. Previously we got time to prepare with the batting coach Neil Mckenzie and overall I'm feeling very ready to give it my best if I get the opportunity," Saif concluded.
