Former India National Cricket Team batter Ajay Jadeja wants the veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin to play the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, which is set to be held in October-November in India, because he feels spin would play an important role in the Indian conditions.
Ashwin, who is regarded as one of the greatest spinners of all-time in Test cricket, has played 113 ODIs for the Men In Blue and has bagged 151 wickets at an average of 33.49, an economy of 4.94 and a strike rate of 40.6. He last represented Team India in ODIs in January 2022 against South Africa in Paarl.

Speaking on Cricbuzz, Jadeja said that both Chahal and Ashwin should be part of India’s scheme of things for the 50-over World Cup in India.
He said: “I would play Ashwin in India in that World Cup because spin will be (important). Chahal, you don’t need to play now, you need to play him in the World Cup. These are ready whether you want them or not.”

Notably, veteran off-spinner Ashwin has failed to make it to India’s ODI squad for the upcoming home series against Sri Lanka. The ODIs will be played on January 10, 12, and 15 in Guwahati, Kolkata, and Trivandrum respectively.
The 51-year-old also picked his 5 bowlers, including 4 pacers and 1 spinner, for three ODIs against Sri Lanka. Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Umran Malik, Arshdeep Singh and Yuzvendra Chahal were his 5 bowlers.
He elaborated: “Jasprit Bumrah, you got to pick, for sure. I am going with just for the current form, I would go with Shami; there’s no way I can leave him out.”
“I would go with Arshdeep Singh. He may not have good last couple of games, but that’s the future. He’s the only left-armer you’re looking at, brilliant with the new ball. It’s unfortunate that he’s so good with the old ball that the Indian team started using him with the old ball and not with the new one. So, I would go with him and Umran Malik. Then I’ll pick Chahal there.”
