WTC Final: Would Have Picked Ashwin For His Batting, Let Alone His Bowling, Says Steve Waugh

By IANS News June 10, 2023 • 09:42 AM View: 1107

AUS vs IND WTC Final: Former Australia captain Steve Waugh said India made a huge mistake by leaving out Ravichandran Ashwin from the playing eleven for the World Test Championship (WTC) Final at The Oval, saying he would have selected the ace off-spinner for his batting, let alone for his ace bowling skills.

With 474 wickets in 92 matches at a strike-rate of 51.8, including 32 five-wicket innings hauls, Ashwin, the top-ranked Test bowler, was left out of the marquee clash as India preferred four fast-bowlers, as Australia made 469 in their first innings.
