New Delhi, Aug 30 (Ians) All-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin stated Pakistan as the strongest contender for the Asia Cup 2023 and a favorite alongside India.
While talking on his YouTube channel, Ashwin said Pakistan’s success depends much on skipper Babar Azam and wicket-keeper Mohammad Rizwan’s performance.
“If Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan give consistent performances with the bat in the middle-order, then Pakistan are going to be one hell of a team going into this Asia Cup and World Cup. It will take some beating. Pakistan is an exceptional side,” Ashwin said.
He also explained the reason behind rating Pakistan so high ahead of India.
“It all comes down to their squad depth. Pakistan has always produced extraordinary cricketers, because of tape ball cricket, they have always had fast bowlers coming through their ranks. Their batting has been special in the late 90s and 2000s,” Ashwin said.

Here is what Ashwin wrote on X, previously Twitter:“This is a fair assessment of the situation. Imagine someone running out Kohli, Rohit, Smith, Root, or any crucial batter at the nonstrikers in the World Cup semi-final or a crunch game that will decide qualification.
“I am sure hell will break loose and there will be a character assassination campaign by some experts who still don’t agree with it and of course, fans that are on the receiving end.”

Mumbai, Aug 21 (Ians) The return of Jasprit Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna has bolstered the Indian fast bowling attack and gives it a healthy look but the problems in the spin department are worrisome, according to former India pacer Karsan Ghavri. Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna have made a successful return from long injury layoffs in the ongoing T20I series against Ireland, which has also earned them a call-up for the Asia Cup to be held in Sri Lanka and Pakistan.
“It’s good news (for the Indian team) that both Bumrah and Krishna are looking fit and right now, you know, are playing in Ireland. They are in for Asia Cup and hopefully for the World Cup too they should be 100% fit and available. That makes a very formidable pace attack and along with that of course we have Mohammed Siraj and Shami,” Ghavri told Ians in an interview on...

New Delhi, Aug 16 (Ians) Reacting to reports about England Test captain Ben Stokes possible U-Turn on Odi retirement to play the World Cup, India all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin reckons that T20I skipper Jos Buttler will convince Stokes to return for the marquee tournament later this year.
According to British media, Stokes might reconsider reversing his Odi retirement with the intention of joining the upcoming World Cup set to take place in India.

Georgetown (Guyana), Aug 8 (Ians) The start of play in the third T20I between West Indies and India was delayed for a unique reason — something not heard ever in the more than 100 years of history of cricket.
The match was delayed because the ground staff reportedly forgot to draw the 30-yard circle on the ground at the Providence Stadium. It was only noticed after the umpires and players had walked into the ground and had to go back into the pavilion.
The bizarre incident has prompted India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin to term the West Indies an easy place to tour “for reasons like this”.
“Unique delay! It’s not an easy place to tour for reasons like this. As a cricketer, one has to be switched on all the time and always expect the unexpected. All the best to @ybj_19 Go well Chinni Paiyaa,” Ravichandran Ashwin tweeted. Young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal...

New Delhi, Aug 6 (Ians) With only two months left for the 2023 Men’s Odi World Cup to begin, scores of Indian fans will be dreaming again to see the Rohit Sharma-led side ending a ten-year wait for lifting a major trophy on home soil on November 19.
The dream of lifting a major trophy has been a long-standing dream for India, who have faltered at every step in the quest for it since winning the 2013 Champions Trophy in England, with Rohit being a part of it. But it is easier said than done, considering their abysmal record in Icc events till now.
For starters, India’s strongest playing eleven is a jigsaw puzzle that is far away from being sorted out.

New Delhi, Aug 6 (Ians) With exactly two months to go for the 2023 Odi World Cup, hosts India are still trying to figure out their best possible 15 men for the mega event and there are discussions around seasoned off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin’s inclusion in the squad as well.
The 36-year-old, who has not played a 50-over game in 18 months, was not part of India’s Odi squad for the recently concluded three-match series against West Indies. However, he could still be considered for the Odi world given his versatility.
A great thinker of the game, Ashwin could ball at any stages of an Odi match, is a more than handy batter lower down the order and has years of experience behind. An Indian Express report had recently said that Ashwin’s name is being discussed between the selectors and team management as they want variety in their spin department.

Port of Spain, July 24 (Ians) In the ongoing tour of the West Indies, Mohammed Siraj had to step up to be the leader of the Indian fast-bowling attack. On Fay Four, where there was nothing for the bowlers to extract from a slow pitch at Queen’s Park Oval, Siraj returned with his career-best figures of five for 60 to give India a healthy 183-run lead.
Siraj’s scalps for his second five-wicket haul in Tests included Joshua da Silva, Jason Holder, Alzarri Joseph, Kemar Roach and Shannon Gabriel. Siraj mixed his inswingers, outswingers and wobble-seam deliveries to good effect with the second new ball to bring a swift end to the West Indies innings.
The fast bowler pointed out that it was not easy for him to succeed on a placid pitch. “First of all, this performance was really good because it’s not easy to take a five-fer on such a flat wicket.

Port of Spain, July 23 (Ians) India debutant Mukesh Kumar won praise from bowling coach Paras Mhambrey after the right-arm pacer claimed his first Test wicket on a rain interrupted Day 3 of the second match against the West Indies, here on Saturday.
Mukesh claimed the wicket of fellow debutant Kirk McKenzie for 32 on a day that saw the West Indies show plenty of fight with the bat, as the hosts frustrated India to go to stumps at 229/5 and still trailing by 209 in the second match.
While veteran spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja did the bulk of the bowling on Saturday, Mukesh showed enough on debut through 14 overs to show he has a future in red-ball cricket as he got the wicket of McKenzie and then was entrusted to partner Mohammed Siraj with the second new ball later in the day.

Mukesh claimed the wicket of fellow debutant Kirk McKenzie for 32 on a day that saw the West Indies show plenty of fight with the bat, as the hosts frustrated India to go to stumps at 229/5 and still trailing by 209 in the second match.

After winning the toss, Brathwaite said pacer Shannon Gabriel also comes back in the playing eleven, with no place for Raymon Reifer and Rahkeem Cornwall.

New Delhi, July 15 (Ians) India recorded a convincing innings and 141-run win over the West Indies on Day 3 of the 1st Test at Dominica, riding on brilliant performances by debutant Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored 171 and old warhorse Ravichandran Ashwin, who claimed a match haul of 12 wickets.
Former skipper Virat Kohli, too, joined the party, hitting 76 as India declared their innings on 421/5. Ashwin & Co. took over from there, bowling out the hosts for only 130 in the second innings.
Former India wicketkeeper Saba Karim, who is now an expert with JioCinema, praised Ashwin’s efforts, saying: “He is always willing to learn and that is what is remarkable about R Ashwin. Even in this game, you would have noticed that he was able to gauge the weakness of the batters quickly and then he went around trying to set them up. You could see him change the angle accordingly.”

Roseau (Dominica), July 15 (Ians) Spin bowling duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin combined to take out West Indies openers as the hosts were reduced to 27/2 and trail India by 244 runs at tea on day three’s play in first Test at Windsor Park Stadium, here on Friday.
It was a session where runs came in at snail’s pace — only 48 runs were made while three wickets fell, with India in pole position to win the match after declaring on 421/5, thus grabbing a 271 run lead.
After the declaration, India began with four overs of pace, before turning to Ashwin and Jadeja. As expected, the experienced spinners kept the openers Tagenarine Chanderpaul and captain Kraigg Brathwaite on tight leash with the pitch doing all kinds of tricks in terms of spin and bounce.
Coming in from over the wicket, Jadeja delivered the breakthrough for India by trapping Chanderpaul lbw after beating him on the inside edge.

Roseau (Dominica), July 14 (Ians) India declared their first innings on 421/5 in 152.2 overs, taking a 271-run lead in the first Test against West Indies at Windsor Park Stadium, here on Friday.
India’s declaration post lunch means that West Indies have an hour and nearly eight minutes to bat in the second session.
With the ball turning and bouncing, it will be a difficult prospect for the West Indies to make India bat again, especially when Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja come out to bowl.
In the second session, Virat Kohli was out for 76 off Rahkeem Cornwall when he tried to flick on backfoot through leg-side, but the extra bounce took a thick inside edge to leg slip. Ishan Kishan’s introduction in Test cricket was a mix of defending, leaving and being beaten twice.
Ravindra Jadeja raked in some boundaries through a cut and creamy cover drive for boundaries. After playing 19 balls,...

Roseau (Dominica), July 13 (Ians) Though he practised on a different surface than a cricket pitch to understand what sort of force he must put from his shoulder into his delivery during the first Test against West Indies, Ravichandran Ashwin did not feel ‘Ok’ on the first day of practice after reaching the Caribbean.
Ashwin was participating in the Tamil Nadu Premier League (Tnpl), the local T20 league from his state, and did not feel ok about his arm speed, body position and crease, which wasn’t really ideal when he first practised before the first Test against West Indies.
Despite the initial feeling, Ashwin bowled superbly as he claimed 5-60 to help India bowl out West Indies for 150 in their first innings.
“I came, I landed in Barbados. I felt a bit of jet lag, as I came from the Tnpl. I felt like my shoulder, the arms speed and you know,...

Roseau (Dominica), July 13 (Ians) India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has admitted that the disappointment of missing out on selection for last month’s Icc World Test Championship Final against Australia spurred him on as he returned to his best form with a record-breaking 33rd five-wicket haul in the first Test against the West Indies.
Ashwin, the No.1 bowler in Test cricket rankings, has rebounded quickly from missing out on selection for the Wtc Final as he ripped through the West Indies batting line-up for a 5-60 haul that helped India bundle out the hosts for 150 and take a dominant position in the first Test in Dominica.
Ashwin got the key wicket of opener Tagenarine Chanderpaul for 12 early in his spell, becoming the first Indian bowler to dismiss both father and son in Test matches. He then used his experience to pry four further scalps in an excellent return to the Test...

Roseau (Dominica), July 12 (Ians) Debutant left-handed batter Alick Athanaze showed some resistance and was looking like putting a price on his wicket before falling for 47 as India pocketed another session in their kitty by reducing West Indies to 137/8 in 58 overs at Tea on Day 1 of first Test at Windsor Park, here on Wednesday.
After picking four wickets in the first session, India picked four more wickets, two of which were taken by Ravichandran Ashwin, while conceding only 69 runs. The visitors’ are now just two wickets away to bowl out West Indies for a below-par total.
The hosts’ below-par batting effort was caused mainly by some reckless shot selection, including of an assured, calm and composed looking Athanaze. The batters were perishing when trying to attack on deliveries without showing adequate patience, leaving a lot left to be desired.

Ashwin, who had made his Test debut in 2011, had dismissed Tagenarine’s father Shivnarine Chanderpaul during his maiden Test on the third day of the 1st Test in New Delhi.
On Wednesday, the 36-year old Ashwin removed young Tagenarine and became only fifth bowler in world cricket to dismiss both father and son during his career.

After winning the toss and electing to bat first, West Indies openers captain Kraigg Brathwaite and Tagenarine Chanderpaul were solid against fast bowlers Mohammed Siraj and Jaydev Unadkat. With the ball not providing them much swing, Brathwaite and Chanderpaul were able to get through the first half-hour without any major discomfort.
But Ashwin’s early entry dramatically changed the course of the session. The ace off-spinner began by castling Chanderpaul with a skiddy delivery coming from wide of crease in the 13th over, making him the first Indian bowler and fifth overall to dismiss a father-son duo in Test cricket.

Roseau (Dominica), July 12 (Ians) West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite won the toss and elected to bat first against India in the first Test of the two-game series at Windsor Park, here on Wednesday.
Left-handed batters Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ishan Kishan are making their Test debuts for India. While Jaiswal will open the batting alongside India captain Rohit Sharma, Kishan will bat in the middle-order and be the wicketkeeper too.
For the West Indies, left-handed batter and local lad Alick Athanaze is making his Test debut.
“Surface is generally dry, but there’s moisture in the first hour. We had a ten-day camp in Antigua. (Brian) Lara (performance mentor) was there, that was good for our young batters. We had seen ourselves in good positions in the last (two Wtc) cycles. What we need is consistency and putting it together. Want the boys to be positive,” said Brathwaite at the toss.

While India will be playing their first Test after their Wtc Final loss against Australia, West Indies are coming off a shocking elimination from the Odi World Cup Qualifiers. There are plenty of challenges for both sides and they will be eager to prove themselves.
India are tipped to name Jaiswal in the XI, off the back of a prolific stretch in domestic cricket in all three formats. Averaging over 80 in his first 26 First Class innings, Jaiswal made 265 in the second innings of the Duleep Trophy Final last year, also enjoying a strong year of white-ball cricket,...

The defeat at the hands of Australia in the World Test Championship has brought about a fiasco in Indian Cricket. The Indian side was till then considered to be the epitome of the cricketing world. A team that boasted superlative batters, mesmerising spinners and a battery of fast bowlers. Indian cricket was running at full throttle speeding towards what one imagined as an unparalleled success.
Another loss in an Icc tournament has put a question mark on the direction that Indian cricket was happily cruising towards. Presently there are concerns and brickbats are being hurled at the selection of the players and the reason for India’s failure. The Indian Premier League (Ipl) naturally has become the easiest target to attack, not for the cricket but for the lack of time that the Indian players were given to recover and get fully acclimatised.

New Delhi, June 15 (Ians) West Indies fast-bowling legend Sir Andy Roberts has slammed the Indian men’s cricket team after their 209-run defeat to Australia in the 2023 World Test Championship Final at The Oval, saying that arrogance has sneaked into the national set-up.
“There is this arrogance which has crept into Indian cricket and through this, India have underestimated the rest of the world. India must decide what their focus is-Test cricket or limited overs cricket. T20 cricket will run its course. There is no contest between bat and ball there,” Roberts was quoted as saying by mid-day on Thursday.
Roberts, the spearhead of West Indies’ fiery bowling line-up in the 1970s and 1980s, pointed out that India have some very good players, but they have not put in worthwhile performances away from home.
“I expected India to show their batting strength. I saw no bright spot in the final...

New Delhi, June 14 (Ians) At The Oval, where India lost the 2023 World Test Championship Final to Australia, six members of India’s playing eleven were aged 34 or above, including captain Rohit Sharma. Since the inception of the World Test Championship cycle in 2019, India have been runners-up on both occasions, first under the leadership of Virat Kohli and now under Rohit’s captaincy.
With India set to begin their next cycle of the Wtc through the two-match Test series against West Indies in Dominica and Trinidad & Tobago from July 12, it also raises queries over Rohit leading India throughout the two-year cycle, as by the time 2025 Wtc Final arrives, he will be 38.
Devang Gandhi, the former India opener, and national selector, feels it is the responsibility of the current selection committee to have a word with Rohit about his future as Test captain.

New Delhi, June 12 (Ians) Legendary batter Sunil Gavaskar believes no other top cricketer in India has been subjected to the baffling treatment which has been meted out to ace off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who was excluded from India’s playing eleven in their 209-run defeat to Australia in the World Test Championship (Wtc) Final at The Oval.
The dilemma of Ashwin being in the playing eleven or not had been a huge topic of discussion in the run-up to the Wtc final, leading to contrasting opinions. His exclusion from the playing eleven, as India lacked control of the ball, invited severe criticism from former cricketers of both nations.
“No other top-class Indian cricketer in the modern era has been treated as bafflingly as Ashwin has been. Tell me if there was a No. 1 Icc-ranked batter in the team, would he have been left out of the playing XI just because...

London, June 11 (Ians) Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar has congratulated Australia on winning the World Test Championship 2023 title but said he still fails to understand the exclusion of off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin from the playing XI for the final that India lost by 209 runs.

London, June 9 (Ians) Former Australia captain Steve Waugh said India made a huge mistake by leaving out Ravichandran Ashwin from the playing eleven for the World Test Championship (Wtc) Final at The Oval, saying he would have selected the ace off-spinner for his batting, let alone for his ace bowling skills.
With 474 wickets in 92 matches at a strike-rate of 51.8, including 32 five-wicket innings hauls, Ashwin, the top-ranked Test bowler, was left out of the marquee clash as India preferred four fast-bowlers, as Australia made 469 in their first innings.
Ashwin’s exclusion from the playing eleven has invited severe criticism of the Indian team from former cricketers of both nations, with Waugh the latest person to join in.
“I do think (India) have picked the wrong side,” he said.
“Spin will play a big part in this Test match and it is going to be up and down. I would have picked Ashwin for his batting,...

London, June 8 (Ians) In the run-up to the World Test Championship Final between India and Australia at The Oval, there was a huge debate over whether ace off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin will make it to the playing eleven or not.
With 474 wickets in 92 matches at a strike-rate of 51.8, including 32 five-wicket/innings hauls, keeping Ashwin, the top-ranked Test bowler, out of the marquee clash as India preferred four fast-bowlers has invited criticism from former cricketers of both nations.
The Oval pitch, which looked green, assisted the seamers for the first hour or so under overcast conditions. But as the sun came out and clouds began to move away, it turned good for batting.
Travis Head (146 not out) and Steve Smith (95 not out) feasted on a lacklustre Indian bowling line-up to stitch a mammoth 251-run unbeaten stand for the fourth wicket as Australia reached 327/3 at the stumps on Day 1.
