He told BBC News: "The way we have been performing in the last six months, there's a good series in the offing.

"Also, Sri Lanka have been performing very well. They have good batting with (Sanath) Jayasuriya and (Upul) Tharanga and it is going to be challenging."

Sri Lanka recently toured England, winning a one-day series there 5-0.

Sreesanth, a 22-year-old former national break dance champion, was first called into the Indian squad for a one-day series last October, in a series also against Sri Lanka.

The India squad for the upcoming tour will be announced on Thursday in Mumbai.

Sreesanth feels the Indian team could do well in next year's World Cup in the Caribbean despite losing a recent series there 4-1.

"It was a good experience in the Caribbean. Our pace attack is on the right track with Irfan Pathan, Munaf Patel and VRV Singh bowling very well," he said.

However, the Indian team did not expect slow wickets in West Indies.

"Earlier, I thought wickets there would be very quick but once the one-day and the Test matches started off, we realised they are slow wickets."

He said the most valuable wicket in the opponent team was that of Brian Lara.

"You cannot get him out with a short ball. I realised that in Antigua. I spoke to Virender Sehwag and Anil Kumble, who gave me suggestions."

"But I was fortunate I was part of the team which created history by winning the Test series."
