Panesar in no hurry to play ODIs, says coach

London, Sep 4 (UNI) Cementing his place in the Test side tops Monty Panesar's agenda and the young spinner is in no hurry to break into the ODI team, said England's spin bowling coach David Parsons.

''He thinks he has something to offer in every format - that just reflects his enthusiasm for the game and his passion for bowling,'' Parsons told BBC Sport.

''But at the moment he is still finding his feet in the Test match arena,'' he added.

''He hopes to break into the squad at some time in the future but is not in a rush to do so,'' he said.

Panesar has impressed everyone with his superb bowling, claiming 32 wickets in 10 Tests but is yet to bowl in the one dayers.

Parsons, however, insists that everyone should accept and realise that Monty is still a developing bowler.

''We get together on a relatively regular basis and go through some stuff with him based on how he has performed in the previous Test match.

''We are still looking at the bigger picture in that he is a relatively inexperienced young spin bowler who's looking to develop in the longer term,'' he reasoned.

Panesar's success in the home series against Pakistan was followed by a media hype and Parsons hoped it would gradually die down.

''I think it'll begin to level out the more Test matches he plays. He's had a terrific start to his Test career - it's what I would call a solid start - but we have to keep our feet on the ground and accept he is still very inexperienced.

''It's a tough winter ahead against the Aussies but there's no reason why he can't be successful if he continues to learn his lessons,'' he explained.
