This is bad news for Indian cricket fans. Indian bowler Ravichandran Ashwin has been ruled out of the third Test match against England. There is no doubt that the absence of Ashwin, who scored 37 runs in the third Test match and provided a good partnership, is a setback for Team India. In that, Ashwin joined the 500-wicket club with the wicket taken on Friday as part of this match.
Meanwhile, BCCI announced on ‘X’ (Twitter) platform that Ashwin will miss the match due to a medical emergency in the family. The BCCI said that the team and the board will stand by Ashwin during this difficult time. It seems that Ashwin missed the match because of his mother’s illness. BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla has posted on X (Twitter) about this.

He wrote that Ashwin moved to Chennai from Rosekot to be close to his mother. Rajeev Shukla wished Ashwin’s mother a speedy recovery. The BCCI board said that media and fans should not disturb the dignity of Ashwin and his family members in such situations. The health and well-being of the players and their family members is very important to them.

Meanwhile, India scored 445 runs in the first innings in the third Test match at Rajkot and got bowled out. Batting second, England made 207 runs for the loss of 2 wickets. Among the Indian bowlers, Siraj and Ashwin took a wicket each. There is no doubt that Ashwin’s absence from the match at such a time when England batsmen are tied down will be a problem for Team India.
