NEW DELHI: As one of cricket's most renowned spinners, Ravichandran Ashwin, shocked fans and experts with his abrupt departure from international cricket, former Pakistani cricketer Rashid Latif lavished praise on India's star for his tactical skills and keen cricketing mind, claiming that the 38-year-old has the potential to "take over the BCCI and ICC in future".
After the Gabba Test concluded in a draw on Wednesday, Ashwin ended his illustrious career, leaving a lasting legacy as one of India's greatest match-winners. In the day-night Test match against Australia in Adelaide, which was his final international match, he scored 29 runs with the bat and took 1-53 in his 18 overs.
