careers because that depends on the selectors. I can say that both of us are high on confidence now. This game has added to our confidence, it makes us believe that we do even better. "I was there at NCA, the first batch, in 2000 and later in 2008. I think whenever you perform, it's the right time. It's never too late if you are fit." Saxena also said it was a good learning experience to play against the Aussies. "You can say this was a great opportunity for us. I wish there are more and more games for India A. For the last two years, the India A team has been going on foreign tours too, so that's a good thing for us youngsters," he said. The 26-year-old from Madhya Pradesh stressed on the importance of a good stock ball and said he was also working on his variation. "I believe that your stock ball has to be your most effective ball. If I have wicket-taking ability with my stock ball, which is the offspinner, then my variations will be more useful," Sexena said. "If I don't have a good off-spin, then the variations won't help. I am working on my variations and learning new things, but the focus is to ensure the stock ball remains my best delivery." Asked how was it bowling with Dhruv at the middle, Saxena said: "We shared a lot during our spells. We were discussing our speeds. We exchanged a lot of thoughts among ourselves."
