World Cup final: ICC pitch consultant back home, BCCI monitor preparations

What will be ICC pitch consultant Andy Atkinson's future was a question floating around as the burly New Zealander was nowhere to be seen during pitch preparation 48 hours ahead of the World Cup final between India and Australia. It is learnt that Atkinson had already left the country as his assignment is already over. "Andy's assignment is over and he has gone back. Don't try to find controversy where there is none.
