February 22, 2006 23:42 IST

After his splendid show against Pakistan, dashing wicketkeeper-batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni [Images] on Wednesday promised to carry his form into the three-Test series against England [Images], beginning early next month.

The new star of the Indian team said he was all set to take on the Englishmen but admitted that the visitors could not be taken lightly.

"The conditions may suit us but England cannot be taken lightly," said Dhoni when asked to comment on India's prospects in the three-Test series beginning on March 1.

"I will try my best to continue performing as I did against Pakistan," said the dashing Jharkhand player whose performances in the Test and one-day series against Pakistan took the country by storm.

Asked about his batting heroics on the Pakistan tour, Dhoni said he had benefited from tips from coach Greg Chappell [Images] and his senior colleagues.
