Ashwin, who bowled so well, did not get a chance to play in a single match during the tour of England last August. He sat on the bench during all 4 Test matches. The Indian team had two wins, one defeat and one draw in the series.
Salman Butt Question:
Former Pakistan captain Salman Butt has questioned why Ashwin was not given a chance in the England series. In an interview with a private newspaper, he said: “I do not know why England did not allow match winners like Aswin to play in the series. He is a world class spinner. Captain Virat Kohli and coach Ravi Shastri must answer why he was not given a chance. ”
He added, “There is something controversial about this. There is something behind not including the best player. The goalie must have given an explanation. ”
