India decided to cancel their only warm-up fixture before the coming Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT), opting for more time in the nets and middle-wicket practice in an intra-squad match at the WACA Stadium in Perth -- a decision that former England captain Michael Vaughan can't wrap his head around.
Before the BGT opener at the Optus Stadium in Perth, India were scheduled to play a practice match against India 'A', but head coach Gautam Gambhir-led Indian think-tank scrapped that even before arriving in Australia.
