Ravichandran Ashwin Team India squad: The squad of the Indian team has been announced for the One Day World Cup (ODI World Cup 2023) to be played from October 5. However, changes can be made in it till September 27. Akshar Patel got injured during the Asia Cup and there is doubt over his playing the World Cup, due to which the team is looking for a good all-rounder in his place. Who it will be has not been finalized yet but captain Rohit has given a big hint.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma has said after the Asia Cup final that he is in touch with several players, including veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, for possible changes to the final World Cup 2023 squad.
Injuries to Shreyas Iyer and fresh setbacks to Axar Patel mean Rohit’s team will have to look elsewhere to fill those positions if the pair are not fit for the World Cup. It has been confirmed that Akshar will miss at least the first two ODIs of the upcoming Australia series. In such a situation, there are expectations of change in the team.
Ashwin is also in line for spin all-rounder- Rohit
In the press conference after India’s stunning 10-wicket win in the Asia Cup final against Sri Lanka, Rohit expressed his respect for Ashwin and Washington Sundar for the role of spin-bowling all-rounder.
