West Indies fast bowler Jerome Taylor, who passed a fitness test before flying out to join his team-mates in England earlier this week, has said he is looking forward to another hard-fought Test series.

"Everything went well and I'm feeling all right. It's a matter of getting back in the groove and doing the job," the Jamaica Gleaner quoted Taylor as saying after a three-hour training session in preparation for a four-day game against England Lions starting Friday.

It was Taylor's five-wicket haul in the first Test in Jamaica two months ago that proved decisive in West Indies regaining the Wisden Trophy after nine years. However, he sustained an injury in a vehicle accident which forced him out of the IPL.

"It is always a pleasure to be among the boys (West Indies team)," he said. "I missed being among the boys when I was not playing, so I'm happy to be back. We all get along well together and we have a good team spirit."

The first Test of the series is at Lord's and starts next Wednesday.
