IND vs AUS: R. Ashwin, an off-spinner for India, has returned to the national team in a stunning change of events. The cricketing community was rocked by the news on Monday. A lot of people are wondering why they decided to include him in the team for the upcoming three-match home series against Australia. Although Ashwin has played extensively at the Test level, his limited-overs career has been in decline.
For the first two One-Day Internationals, KL Rahul will be in charge. However, the decision not to include veterans Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the first matches has generated much debate.
The third One-Day International won’t be like the others, either. Having Axar Patel join the team is an exciting development. As India chooses its World Cup roster, this game will also be a crucial litmus test.
