Indian seasoned off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin announced his retirement from all formats of international cricket after the third Test against Australia ended as a draw in Brisbane.
Former Australian wicketkeeper-batter Brad Haddin believes that Ashwin was somewhat frustrated with the changes made in the three matches of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25
“More will come out when Ashwin has his opportunity to speak; just reading between the lines, it looked like he may have been a bit frustrated with the spinning options that they’ve changed in the first three Test matches. To me, he was a student of the game (and) always looking at ways to get better … he’s earned the right,” Haddin told Fox Cricket after the end of the Test match.
Ashwin is currently the seventh-highest wicket-taker in Test cricket. He has taken 537 wickets in 106 Test matches. The seasoned star has also scored 3505 runs during his appearings in the longest format of the game.
The third match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 came to an end without a result, and the last Test match will be held in spin-friendly conditions, where Indian team will surely miss the bowling of Ashwin.
