Temperamental Indian seamer Sreesanth has declared that India would not shy away from any on-field confrontation in limited overs matches, despite BCCI’s threats of scrapping the series following an ugly spat between Harbhajan Singh and Andrew Symonds.

Sreesanth, who is known for his aggression, missed the ill-tempered four-Test series due to a shoulder injury but is now fit to play in the one-day tri-series.

“We never backed down. Why should we? We have players who can give it back with interest,” Sreesanth said.

“What’s the worst that can happen? Six sixes? I can always come back next over. All I need is just one ball to get (the batsman) out,” he was quoted as saying by the Herald Sun.

Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his Australian counterpart Rickey Ponting on Thursday said a little bit if “chit-chat” is justified but the players of would be careful not to cross the line.

Sreesanth also warned the Aussies to be on their guards with him being a part of the ODI squad.

“The Aussies should be worried I am coming. Sreesanth’s way is to be aggressive,” he said.
