Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has expressed his love for Indian cricket and is looking to bring something new to the team.
The door to India's World Cup squad opened for Ashwin after Axar Patel sustained an injury in the recently concluded Asia Cup.
The experienced spinner along with Washington Sundar was added to the squad to provide the 'Men In Blue' with further options and variety ahead of the World Cup.
Ashwin is likely to feature in India's ODI clash against Australia on Friday and he is looking to offer something new to the team and the new variation that he has been working on.
"It's a great opportunity for me, I want to bring something different to the table something different from my perspective, I have been working on some different angles because one day cricket isn't about spin anymore it's not about the angle of spin or anything," Ashwin said to BCCI.
Adam Zampa could be in action for the Australian team and showcase his skills with spin against India in a three-match ODI series
Noting that Zampa can be the trump card in the match against India, Pat Cummins said he can slow down the run rate in the middle overs as well as well as pick up some wickets during the death overs
"Particularly if you pick four frontline bowlers, you've got to be ready to bowl in all phases. 'Zamps', he's effective at not only keeping the run rate down but he can take a couple of wickets at the death, which is really important as well and sometimes it's a bit harder for pace bowlers to do that. I wouldn't be surprised if we keep two, three or four overs up our sleeve with him," Cummins said as quoted from cricket.com.au.
Full team here: Pat Cummins (c), Sean Abbott, Alex Carey, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Josh Inglis, Spencer Johnson, Marnus Labuschagne, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Tanveer Sangha, Matt Short, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, David Warner, Adam Zampa.

It will be nice for some other guys that they are given this opportunity to play three tough games before the World Cup," said Dravid in a pre-match press conference.
"I think with people like Rohit and Virat, from our perspective, it is important that they reach the first game of the World Cup with the physical and mental headspace they want to be in. With the amount of cricket they have played, they know how to prepare themselves for these big games. A lot of these decisions are discussed with them. We discuss with them how they would like to prepare leading upto big events. Based on these discussions, we come up with these mutual decisions," he added.
