Exposure tour for us: Curran

Mumbai: The second round Duleep Trophy league clash between the visiting Zimbabwe Cricket Union President's XI and North Zone provides the former with an ideal opportunity to get much needed experience of playing in India without the pressures of international competition.

``Basically it's an exposure trip for us. We are expecting to do well in the tournament as our batting seems to be clicking,'' Zimbabwe coach Kevin Curran said on Wednesday.
