Ashwin was recovering from a wrist and ankle injury he suffered during the South Africa ODI series. Follow India vs Sri Lanka Test series Live Updates on InsideSport.IN.
The injury thwarted Ashwin’s remarkable comeback in white-ball cricket. While he looked off-colour in the ODIs in South Africa, he was in fine form in the T20 World Cup and the T20 series against New Zealand at home. IPL 2022 will be a big test for Ashwin for his T20I career, especially with Ravi Bishnoi grabbing the opportunity with both hands.
