BGT: 'A Bit Of Surprise', Cummins Reacts To Ashwin's Retirement Midway In The Series

By IANS News December 18, 2024 • 15:16 PM View: 310

Pat Cummins: Australia captain Pat Cummins said Indian all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin announcing his retirement from international cricket midway through the Border-Gavaskar series comes as a "bit of suprise" for him.

The 38-year-old off-spin allrounder announced his retirement shortly after the third Test between India and Australia ended in a stalemate on Wednesday.

"A bit of surprise. He’s obviously a champion player for them, played a lot over the last 10-plus years. He’s had a wonderful career,” Cummins told ABC Sport after the day’s play.
