Pujara, the India A captain, has yet to make a fifty this series.
"These matches will be challenging. Each country will have different conditions. Obviously if the South African tour is there, the good thing for me is that I have played two Test matches over there. I know how the conditions are, how to score runs, what kind of changes I have to make in my technique," Pujara said.
Leading the India A side, Pujara hasn't yet scored a fifty in the series.
"I didn't perform to what I have been expected and what I personally feel that I should have done for the team. But you learn from your failures, and it's good that I am failing before the Test matches so that I have got enough time to prepare.
India A trail 1-0 going into the final unofficial Test in Hubli.
