Ashwin made a surprising decision to retire from international cricket midway through the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series. His retirement came after an emotional moment with teammates in the dressing room. He officially announced his decision during the post-match press conference at the Gabba.
“More will come out when Ashwin has his opportunity to speak; just reading between the lines, it looked like he may have been a bit frustrated with the spinning options that they’ve changed in the first three Test matches. To me, he was a student of the game (and) always looking at ways to get better … he’s earned the right,” Haddin told Fox Cricket after the end of the Test match.
