R. Ashwin may have been recalled to India’s T20 side for the forthcoming tour to the West Indies. But Brad Hogg, the two-time World Cup champion with Australia, does not see much of a role for the champion off-spinner during India’s T20 World Cup campaign down under later this year.
“I really love Ashwin. I think he is a fantastic bloke, I think he is one of the best off-spinners in the world.
“But, if I am an India selector and I have to select the team going to Australia, I’ll have (Mohd.) Shami, (Jasprit) Bumrah and Bhuvi (Bhuvneshwar Kumar) as quick bowlers who are going to be light in the field,” Hogg, the former wrist spinner, told The Hindu on Friday here, on the sidelines of an event to promote Tourism Western Australia.
