Manoj Tiwary is of the opinion that the Gautam Gambhir-led team management insulted the veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin by bringing in a young spinner like Washington Sundar into the playing XI and handing him over more responsibility.
Ashwin shocked the cricket world after the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, which was played at the Gabba in Brisbane.
Ashwin ended his international career as one of the greatest Test players in the history of Indian cricket. Overall, he played 106 Tests, 116 ODIs, and 65 T20s for India.
Ravichandran Ashwin was insulted - Manoj Tiwary
In an interview with PTI, Manoj Tiwary reckoned that Ashwin was mishandled by the Indian team management and he felt insulted seeing a new face coming in the playing XI despite being in his prime form.
"But when you have a player of Ashwin's calibre, what is the need for you to bring in Washington in the home series where Ashwin is there, Jadeja is there, and Kuldeep is there, and make him bowl more overs than Ashwin? Is that not an insult to Ashwin?" questioned Tiwary.
One day he will definitely come out and he will share his experience - Manoj Tiwary
"Will he just carry on, after giving so many match-winning performances? He will not come and say that because he is a nice guy," Manoj Tiwary said.
Meanwhile, Manoj Tiwary has become the talk of the town with his recent statements on India head coach Gautam Gambhir, where he accused Gambhir of taking undue credit for Kolkata Knight Riders' success and he also claimed that there is a rift between the head coach and India skipper Rohit Sharma.
