The willy spinner has been a force to be reckoned with on home soil, especially all formats. However, Ashwin's age is not making him any younger and sooner rather than later, Team India will have to look at his replacement.
바카라India are definitely looking for a next-gen off-spinner, as in last India 바카라A바카라 series against England Lions, they tried three off-spinners in three matches: Pulkit Narang, Washington Sundar and Saransh Jain,바카라 Dinesh Karthik was quoted on Cricbuzz.
바카라They are trying out and Washington Sundar is the front-runner behind Ravichandran Ashwin right now. He바카라s done well in whatever limited opportunities he바카라s got and I feel he will get his due first before going to anybody else,바카라 Karthik added.
Are Off-Spinners 'Off' The Market In Cricket?
In the current age, the bats have got bigger and the pitches have been producing more batting-friendly conditions that makes it more difficult for the off-spinners. However, the likes of leg-spinners and chinaman bowlers are able to cope with it.
바카라See, any spinner will get hit on a given day. Off-spinners are much easier in the sense they get into the arc because a lot of cricketers are good at hitting sixes to cow corner. So it is a natural shot as off-spinners get into that slot very easily,바카라 former India off-spinner and Tamil Nadu coach M Venkataramana was quoted in The Indian Express.
Ashwin will be have bigger role for Team India in a busy schedule starting with the home series against Bangladesh and the Border-Gavaskar Trophy starting in November.
