I did setup and uploaded new apk for alpha release as per mentioned here by creating Google Group and adding that group for Alpha release. But alpha test accounts still not able to download application from Google Play. Link generated from developer console lets tester to opt in, but does not let download application. I did this for unpublished app and it's almost 24 hours passed but still Google Play client gives "Item not found" error.

Am I missing something or do I need to simply wait more ?

I had to publish the application but not in all countries, the country I live in was enough for me to see it. However, It appears that I have to pay for my own application to test it making it a bit pointless. Edit: Adding accounts under settings will make it possible to make test purchases for in app-billing, probably also for paid-apps. It can take a few hours before others can download beta apps, but I have not experiences 24hrs, usually around 2-4hrs.
