Ravichandran Ashwin withdraws from India Test squad with immediate effect due to family medical emergency

[coffee_rules]

Sad turn of events. Hope she feels better. Good on him to drop out to be next to his mother. Family comes first

[Vickydev]

Hope nothing happens and she gets better. Match can go to the gutters for all I care

Shukla ji revealed it...  Well wishes to his mother

 

 

So why is Shukla ji okay with revealing Ashwin's family situation without any regard for privacy but not revealing why Kohli is missing this series?

[Nikhil_cric]

Sympathies with Ash.  But this is not looking good for this Test match of the series, even.

Maybe Ashwin gave him permission to share, but Kohli did not. And it's their prerogative.

Hope she feels better. Family first. 

 

This match doesn't matter. We will see. Maybe jaiswal can bowl

For the first time, team Ind is going to take the field with only 10 players.  Has it happened before?  (This is now looking like a Soccer match)

Heard that if India request and Ben Stokes allows we can field a player in his place. I think Stokes will allow it if requested.

Not really

You are leaving an international match in between and going..you call yourself a member of the Indian cricket team. It's not their prerogative. It is theirs if they call themselves BCCI cricket team

No way will Stokes allow for a replacement.

[nitinbwj]

India hasn't asked for replacement. Captain clueless will have to find answers.

I wouldnt be so sure.

 

I think he would have unofficially requested and it has been rejected by Stokes, no need to make an official request to make it awkward at interviews.

Why are players wearing black Armand’s? I hope Ashwin’s mother’s ok.

It’s for the death of Dattajirao Gaekwad aged 95

Ashwin will be joining the team shortly after lunch.
