Captain Inzamam-ul-Haq said on Tuesday his team was ready to face India in next month's Test series after a battle hardened tour of Australia.
"We have learnt a lot from the tour of Australia which will help us in more than one way when we tour India," Inzamam told reporters in the southern port city of Karachi after his team was swept 3-0 in the Test series by world champions Australia.
Pakistan not only lost the Test series, Australia beat them 2-0 in the best of three triangular series final which also featured the West Indies.
Pakistan is scheduled to leave for India on February 25 for its first tour of India in six years to play three Tests and five One-Day Internationals. The first Test is starting from March 4.
"I hope the players will capitalize on what they have learnt in Australia and if they do not repeat the mistakes they committed in Australia, they can always do well," Pakistan's coach Bob Woolmer said.
Pakistan has problems in the bowling department with three front line pacemen Shoaib Akhtar, Mohammad Sami, Umar Gul and Shabbir Ahmed all struggling with injuries.
"We need a strong bowling lineup and I hope that all our injured bowlers regain their fitness to help us in India. We know India is a tough team in their den because they have a strong batting lineup and they catch their opposition through their spinners," Inzamam said.
