Former India all-rounder Karsan Ghavri believes experienced off-spinner R Ashwin and young batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal should have been considered for the upcoming Asia Cup by the Ajit Agarkar-chaired national selection committee. “What is Ashwin supposed to prove after taking 712 international wickets? He has not been treated well despite being a senior player,” Ghavri, who received the CEAT lifetime cricket award at a city hotel on Monday, told mid-day.
Ghavri, 72, who represented the country in 39 Tests and 19 ODIs, is convinced that Ashwin’s experience will play a major role on Indian pitches during the ODI World Cup which begins on October 5. “Ashwin is a quality player and he should have been selected for the Asia Cup. He will be a key bowler in the World Cup on Indian pitches,” added Ghavri.
