BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla has claimed that Ravi Ashwin’s mother is indisposed. As a result, Ashwin had to rush back to Chennai to be with his mother. Ashwin has withdrawn from the Rajkot Test owing to this family emergency.
With Ashwin’s absence, the India Cricket Team has been dealt with a massive blow. No Ashwin means India has no fifth bowler in their mix. Furthermore, India doesn’t have any other part-time bowlers in their ranks for the IND vs ENG Rajkot Test.
The BCCI announced that Ravichandran Ashwin has pulled out of the Rajkot Test. Previously on Day 2 of the game, he dispatched Zac Crawley to scalp his 500th Test wicket. He became the second Indian after Anil Kumble to achieve his historic feat.
What happened to Ashwin?
BCCI Statement – “Ravichandran Ashwin has withdrawn from the Test squad, effective immediately due to a family medical emergency. In these challenging times, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the team fully supports Ashwin.
“The BCCI extends its heartfelt support to the champion cricketer and his family. The health and well-being of the players and their loved ones are of utmost importance. The Board requests respect for the privacy of Ashwin and his family as they navigate through this challenging time.
“The Board and the team will continue to provide any necessary assistance to Ashwin and will keep the lines of communication open to offer support as needed. Team India appreciates the understanding and empathy of the fans and media during this sensitive period.”
