GUWAHATI: As India embarked on final preparation for their ODI World Cup journey with a three-hour long optional practice session far from the madding crowd at the Amingaon Cricket Ground on Friday, the latest entrant into the final 15-member squad, Ravichandran Ashwin, was the busiest among all.
The off-spinner was in the first batch of players to arrive in the city well before officially replacing left-arm spinner Axar Patel late on the deadline day for making any changes in the squad.
