KOLKATA: What is boon for a team, may turn out to be bane for another.
As Assam begin their Ranji Trophy Group D campaign with a home game against Jharkhand at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati starting Friday, they will miss their current best batter Riyan Parag for sure. The youngster, who was the captain last season, is away on national duty as he is part of the India squad for the three-match T20 International series against Bangladesh.
