Ashish Kaushik to join team

Ashish Kaushik, the physio at the National Cricket Academy, will join the Indian team during the tour of the West Indies.

Kaushik has been at the academy for more than a year and prior to that he was the head-physio at the Essex County CC in England.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India has decided to give regular physio Nitin Patel a break due to the extended workload right from the World Cup.
