Suresh Raina feels Australia have missed the trick by not playing warm-up games

Terming practice matches as ‘really important’, former India batter Suresh Raina feels that the Australians might have missed the trick after opting for simulation training rather than playing warm-up matches ahead of the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The four-match Test series starts from February 9 in Nagpur and Raina is surprised by Australian team’s decision of not playing warm-up games. The visitors are currently in Bengaluru, practising on rank turners, assisted by little known Baroda spinner Mahesh Pithiya, whose bowling action resembles R Ashwin.
