The limited time at their disposal to adapt to the local conditions is the biggest challenge for South Africa ahead of their opening Test against India, team's coach Corrie Van Zyl said here today.

"My biggest challenge is to prepare the players in such a congested time to these conditions from the bouncy wickets of South Africa. We have to get in as many practice sessions as possible and obviously the two-day game (against the Cricket Board President's XI that concluded yesterday) has helped tremendously," said Van Zyl at an interactive session with the mediapersons at the team hotel.
