Cricket News Desk. India's great spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has surprised everyone by taking a big decision during the Australia series. He announced his retirement from international cricket. This experienced player took this decision after the third Test match was drawn in Brisbane. Ashwin announced his retirement by attending the match press conference along with captain Rohit Sharma. He said that this is my last day as an Indian cricketer.

This will be my last day: Ashwin

“This will be my last day as an Indian cricketer in all formats at the international level,” Ashwin said in the press conference. I think I still have some enthusiasm left in me as a cricketer. I want to perform like this in club level cricket. I enjoyed it a lot. I have shared many memories with Rohit Sharma and Ashwin is the second highest wicket taker for India in Test matches. He has taken 537 wickets in 106 test matches. He is behind only former captain Anil Kumble (619).

said thanks to your friends

Ashwin said, “Obviously there are a lot of people to thank, but I would be failing in my duties if I don't thank the BCCI and my teammates. I would like to name some of them, some of the coaches too, Who has remained associated with the team in this difficult time. A part of this journey. The most important thing is Rohit, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Cheteshwar Pujara, who have taken some catches and given me so many wickets.

He was able to play only one match on the Australia tour.

Ashwin has played only one of the first three Test matches of the ongoing series in Australia. The day-night Test match played in Adelaide proved to be the last match of his career. Unfortunately India lost this match. In the last series, Ashwin took only nine wickets at an average of 41.22 in the 0-3 defeat against New Zealand at home.
