India will meet Australia in the final 50-over contest before the ICC World Cup. All-rounder R Ashwin stamped his authority by architecting the collapse of Australia’s top order in the series decider against India at Indore on Sunday. Earning plaudits for his bowling heroics against Australia. Ex-AUS skipper Aaron Finch believes Ashwin will find it hard to feature in the 15-member squad for the World Cup.
Speaking to Star Sports, Aaron Finch said –
“I think he (Ashwin) might struggle to make it to the final 15, but as somebody who has played so much cricket, I think the rest of the group that is with the Indian team for this current series against Australia, they could learn so much about big gameplay.”
Finch’s remarks have arrived after Ashwin showcased his class against the five-time world champions. Premier batter Marnus Labuschagne was bamboozled by Ashwin in the series decider at Indore.
Aaron Finch added –
“Because Ashwin is somebody that stands up in big games, whether it’s a Test match or a T20 game, he has done it all throughout his career. So I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s there at the moment as a mentor around the group, but I don’t see him making that last 15, unfortunately.”
