(P.C.:Getty) 19 Reactions Like Like Excited Happy Anxious Angry Sad Comment Share Anuj Nitin Prabhu FEATURED COLUMNIST Follow Modified 26 Aug 2022 Former Pakistan cricketer Saqlain Mushtaq believes off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin should never have been dropped from Team India's white-ball setup. Ashwin had to wait four long years to make a comeback when he was selected in the 2021 T20 World Cup squad. He has been in and out of the side ever since. Being a former off-spinner himself, the 45-year-old understands the value that Ashwin could have brought to the table. He feels the Indian team management and selectors 'wasted' the veteran off-spinner's prime years. Speaking in an exclusive chat with Sportskeeda on Friday, Mushtaq elaborated on what Ravichandran Ashwin brings to the table in the shortest format. He said: "I feel sorry for Ashwin because I don't understand why they removed him from white-ball cricket. They have wasted his years. He is a complete package as he can bat as well. There are two types of cricketers, those who remain economical as well as those who can set traps for wickets. I feel Ashwin can play the role of both." Mushtaq hails Dravid Rohit for Ravichandran Ashwin s comeback Ravichandran Ashwin was impressive in the IPL 2022 season as well as the T20I series against the West Indies earlier this month. This has helped the 35-year-old seal a spot in India's Asia Cup squad. He has a great chance to cement his place in the team for the upcoming T20 World Cup with some good performances.

He stated: "Dropping Ashwin was unfair on both India as well as the player. But I think coach Rahul and captain Rohit might have had a say in bringing him back into the fold and it is a great strategy." Who between Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravi Bishnoi could play if India decide to field an extra spinner alongside Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravindra Jadeja in the Asia Cup?
