International Captain
SENA teams have since forever prepared anti-spin/pro-seam wickets when India visit because of our erstwhile batting inadequacies and traditional over-reliance on spin. I seriously doubt Ashwin figures as an exclusively different threat unto himself in their pitchmaking considerations compared to Jadeja, Harbhajan, Kumble, or any other Indian spinner before him that you care to name. Especially so when he hasn't been a guaranteed starter abroad in ages.
