“Stop creating controversy” :-Sunil Gavaskar slams people on Ravichandran Ashwin’s not present in 2023 Asia Cup squad.
Sunil Gavaskar has expressed his support for the selectors’ decision regarding the 17-member squad chosen for the upcoming Asia Cup, which precedes the ODI World Cup. The ex-captain of the Indian cricket team criticized individuals on social media who proposed the inclusion of Ravichandran Ashwin in the 2023 Asia Cup squad.
Gavaskar emphasized that while several players might be disappointed by their omission, he underlined that indulging in unnecessary discussions would inevitably give rise to disputes. He fervently appealed to the fans to channel their energies into backing the team wholeheartedly.
Gavaskar said “Yes, there are a few players who will believe that they are lucky. But the team is selected. So don’t talk about Ashwin. Stop creating controversy. This is our team now. If you don’t like it, don’t watch the matches but stop saying that he should have been picked or another should be there, this is a wrong mindset.”
“Yes, absolutely (this team can win the World Cup). Who else would you have picked? I don’t think any player can claim that he has been an injustice to him. The experienced and in-form players have been selected in the 17-member Asia Cup squad.”
