Melbourne, April 9: Australian speedster Brett Lee will use his Indian Premier League stint for Kings XI Punjab to assess conditions at the PCA Stadium in Mohali, where Ricky Ponting’s team will play a Test match during their tour of India later this year.

“I’ll be playing three games at the Mohali stadium and I’ll be doing as much as I can for the Punjabi side,” Lee said.

“But while I’m doing that, I’ll be casting a keen eye on the way the wicket plays and the different angles to bowl for when we get the chance to go there and play against India. So it’s a win-win case for everyone,” he was quoted in ‘The Age’ today.

Australia will take on the Indians in the four-match series for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with the second Test in Mohali from October 17-21.

The series starts in Bangalore on October 9. The third and fourth matches will be held in Delhi (October 28-November 1) and Nagpur (November 5-9).

Lee will play in the IPL for only a fortnight before he leaves for the tour of West Indies early next month and will open the bowling for his franchise side.
