Indian cricket coach Duncan Fletcher has said his young and inexperienced team will arrive in South Africa without any mental scar and play freely.

Fletcher said he believes that the relative inexperience of the team could actually prove to be beneficial for them as they would approach things with an open mind, Sport24 reports

He felt confident about his well-balanced team with batsmen capable of making runs, and the bowling line-being a good mixture of quicks and spinners capable of bagging wickets, the report added.

India will play three ODIs and two Tests against the Proteas starting Thusady in Johannesburg.
