That's the reason Ashwin returned home halfway..!?
It is believed that Ashwin announced his retirement halfway through the Border Gavaskar Test series due to the indian team's continued reluctance to select him as the main spinner during overseas tours. Ravichandran Ashwin was not included in the playing eleven of the indian team in the World Test championship final. This became an unhealed wound in Ashwin's mind. Speaking about this, Ashwin said that he regrets why he changed from a batsman to a bowler. No batsman will be benched according to the pitch. They only look at form. But he had said that bowlers, especially spinners, are being benched very casually. After the 2018-19 south africa tour, Ashwin's bowling has improved immensely for the indian team.

Therefore, he has announced his retirement by directly stating that if he is not needed, he does not want to be here. Because Ashwin knows very well what problems it will create for the team when a player announces his retirement in the middle of a Test series. What happened in the last World Test championship final has happened again. Due to the disrespect for Ashwin's talent, he immediately sent a letter to the bcci and the indian team management without any prior planning and announced his retirement. Even in that press conference, Ashwin said that he still has a lot of cricket left in him. He said that he would express it at the club level. This will help us understand the reason behind Ashwin's decision.
