Ashwin expressed disappointment over not being elected Iyer and Jaiswal in Asia Cup team

New Delhi. Ravichandran Ashwin expressed disappointment for not being selected in the Indian team for the Asia Cup and described it as sad and wrong. He also questioned the exclusion of opener Yashasvi Jaiswal. The BCCI has announced a 15 -member team for the Asia Cup starting on September 9 in the UAE. Suryakumar Yadav has been made the captain of the team. Shubman Gill has returned to the team as a vice -captain.

Indian veteran R. In his YouTube channel ‘Ash Ki Baat’, Ashwin said, ‘Selection is such a task in which someone will remain outside. When you talk to them, you can feel the disappointment and sorrow of their faces. Hopefully someone must have talked to Shreyas and Jaiswal. Both Shreyas Iyer and Yashasvi Jaiswal, who won the 2024 IPL title to Kolkata Knight Riders, have not got a place in the Asia Cup team.

He said, ‘Look at Iyer’s record. He was out of the team but then batted brilliantly in the Champions Trophy. He won the tournament. If the answer is that Shubman Gill is also in excellent form, then Shreyas Iyer is also. Jaiswal played a brilliant innings on a tough pitch in the last match at Oval. What will be the answer?

Ashwin said, ‘What is the fault of Shreyas. He won the IPL to KKR. He was sent to auction. He then took Punjab to the final for the first time after 2014. He got rid of his problem on shortage. Bowlers like Cagiso Rabada and Jaspreet Bumrah scored easily in IPL. I am very sad for him and Jaiswal.
