South African tour, important series for India: Dravid

Bangalore, Nov 10 (UNI) Team India skipper Rahul Dravid today said the upcoming tour of South Africa will bring out the best in his boys as the Proteas were known for good and tough cricket.

Addressing newspersons after signing as the brand ambassador for a city-based real estate developer, he said ''South Africa is always a good place to tour and the coming series is very important for India. South Africans are always a good opponent to play against.'' Dravid declined to take questions, stating that he would be addressing the media in Mumbai on Sunday to detail about the tour.

The Indian team, which plays five ODIs, a Twenty-20 match and three tests against South Africa, would leave for the African country on November 13.
