Why didn't bcci give Ashwin a chance?

Senior indian team player Ravichandran Ashwin has announced his retirement without even playing in the farewell Test match on home soil. The reason why the bcci allowed the legendary player who played 106 Test matches to retire very casually has been revealed. A few months ago, Ashwin spoke about the Duleep Trophy series and said, "I was watching the spinners playing in the Duleep Trophy. It seems that the bcci is preparing washington sundar, dhanush Kotian, Hrithik Shokin, Saransh Jain, and others. Then my wife made a comment. They all said that they were waiting for you to announce your retirement. I was shocked for a minute. To be honest, I had openly said that I had also been in a similar situation. Accordingly, washington sundar has been ready to fill Ashwin's place, and he has announced his retirement immediately.
However, fans are saying that the indian legend, who played 106 Test matches, should have been given a farewell on his own soil. Due to this, there are discussions that both coach gautam gambhir and captain rohit sharma have cursed Ashwin and that Ashwin announced his retirement because he was not given a chance in the australia series. Ravichandran Ashwin has already turned 38, and the 3-0 defeat against new zealand on his own soil was a huge setback. Even when Ashwin spoke after that Test series, he had openly said that I was an important reason for the defeat in this Test series. Similarly, Ashwin has not been the main spinner abroad. It is also doubtful whether he will get a chance in the upcoming matches as washington sundar can currently bat better than Ashwin. Ashwin is said to have held long discussions with coach Gambhir, captain rohit sharma, and the bcci regarding this. Ashwin has already agreed to it. Apart from that, the indian team is next scheduled to play Test matches on home soil only after August. Ashwin will have to wait for another 8 months for the farewell Test match. Due to this, it is seen that Ashwin has announced his retirement.

Apart from that, rahul dravid once spoke about retirement and said that instead of asking people when they will retire, they should leave when they ask why they retired. Due to this, fans are praising Ashwin for following rahul Dravid's words.
