Ravichandran Ashwin has been in the best form of foreign in his life.
He played an important role in India’s victory in Australia and even in the final of the world test championship against New Zealand, he was a person who threatened Kiwi to take four goals and strangled him with his round and variations on the green lane.
However, when XI India was announced on Wednesday for the first test match against England at Trent Bridge, it was Master Offie, with 413 test wickets, which was made to sit.
There was no problem with an ashwin and the management logic of the team was Ravindra Jadeja was a better batsman.
It was of course forgotten that Ashwin fought brilliantly in Sydney to save the match test with Hanuma Vihari just a few months ago.
This might happen that Jadia will print some crucial processes later, but it cannot explain the exception of Ashwin, which has so far been the best spinner in the world in the current red ball cricket.
And all this was done when the Bowler champions wore extra yards, playing the County game for Surrey during the break after the WTC final and took six goals.
“Within several times, the team selection is often confusing, but this one handles it …
whether you will register Muttiah Muralithan in his heyday to your second spinning place in the team and make him sit to play allrounder.
Ashwin, at this time, is a bowling level That, this is truly unacceptable, “Sunil Subramaniam, one-time coach Ashwin and former Indian team manager who worked closely with Ravi Shastri and Bharat Arun until several years ago.
It can be noted that after the WTC final in June, there is acceptance that additional PACER must be played.
But it was Jadyja, regardless of all his wealth with a bat, which saw a weak link in a spin attack.
In the last 12 matches played by Ashwin in Sena countries in recent years, he had taken 43 numbers.
Team management can argue that the last time a spinner took five numbers at the Trent Bridge was the way back in 2006, when Muralithan and Monty panes reached the achievement.
“It’s not material, Bowling Ashwin is not just about how much the ball turns off the tone.
He has many nuances for his bowling and you just don’t drop the quality player,” Subramaniam said.
