Off-spinner Washington Sundar, who replaced Akshar in the team for the Asia Cup final, has also been included in the team for all three matches and will be another option for the World Cup. KL Rahul will lead the team in the first two matches while Rohit will take command of the team in the third and final ODI. All the major players will take part in this match before the World Cup starting from October 5. Apart from Ashwin and Sundar, those players who will play in the World Cup have been selected for the final ODI.
Ajit Agarkar said this
Selection committee chairman Ajit Agarkar said that if Akshar is not fit at the right time, then either Ashwin or Sundar can be included in the World Cup team. He said, ‘We have two options in the form of Ashwin and Washington. We will take a decision only after knowing the condition of Akshar’s injury. If needed, we will think about including another player but there is no need to speculate on it right now because we are hopeful that Akshar will be fit.
When the Agarkar-led selection committee selected the 15-member squad for the World Cup earlier this month, questions were raised over not including a single off-spinner in it. After the announcement of the team on Monday, captain Rohit was asked that if Ashwin was part of the plans for the World Cup, then why was he not included in the team for the Asia Cup. On this, the Indian captain said that Ashwin does not have to prove anything and he can be directly included in the team if needed.
Ashwin returned to ODI after 2017
Ashwin was dropped from India’s ODI team after the Champions Trophy in 2017. He returned to the ODI team after four and a half years for the series played in South Africa in January last year but after that he was dropped again. Shreyas Iyer, who is struggling with injuries, has been included in the team for all three matches. He could play only two matches in the Asia Cup due to back stiffness.
