As part of its preparations for the upcoming home series against arch-rivals India, Pakistan cricket captain Inzamam-ul Haq announced that the team's training camp would be organised from January 7.

"That's our plan because our coach Bob Woolmer [Images] has also gone for Christmas vacations and will return in the first week of January.

"But all the players have been given a daily training chart to ensure they remain ready for the India series," Inzamam said.

The tour which includes three Tests and five One-day Internationals will get underway from January 13 in Lahore [Images] where the first Test between the two sides will be played.

Admitting that the series against India would be no walk in the park, the Pakistani skipper said, "They (India) have some very good players and they've a lot of experienced players as well in their team. So it's not going to be easy for us despite our win over England [Images]. We've to keep in mind that both the teams are very different in nature and their approach to the game. We've to plan and prepare differently for the Indians."

The right-hander was confident of a good show against the traditional rivals but maintained that his team should not get complacent after comfortable victories against England in both Test and one-day series.

"If we continue to play the way we have against England with everyone combining as a unit, I'm confident we can do well against India also. But we can't afford to relax at all because Indians are better players of spin," he said.
