Perth, January 14:: The prospect of facing a four-pronged Australian pace attack on the fast and bouncy WACA pitch has not fazed Virender Sehwag, who is in line to make a comeback to the Indian team after a hundred in the practice match in Canberra.

The Australian selectors are likely to include tearaway fast bowler Shaun Tait in place of left-arm chinaman bowler Brad Hogg but Sehwag is not concerned.

"I have got my rhythm back. I have got everything back," the Delhi batsman said.

"I think the Perth wicket is good for me and good for batsmen because the ball comes on (with) pace and bounce so you can play your shots.

"It's a true wicket for both batsmen and bowlers and I love fresh challenges, so if I play against four fast bowlers, then it's great for me. I will try to play with a positive mindset and play my shots," Sehwag was quoted as saying by Herald Sun.

The 52-Test veteran has been out of the Test team for a year but his innings of 113 from 78 balls in India's drawn three-day game against an Australian Capital Territory Invitational XI, coupled with Wasim Jaffer's failures, has put Sehwag in contention for a recall in Wednesday's third Test.

"In the second innings (in Canberra) the wicket was slow and not coming on to the bat. So I decided I would play positive and stay with a positive mindset. It helped."

Asked if he would consider a middle-order slot in the Indian team, he said: "Whatever. I want to play Test cricket.

It doesn't matter (if it's as an) opener, one down or middle order."
