To attend to my mother in Chennai Ashwin left the England series midway; BCCI VP wishes for her'speedy recovery'
The Indian cricket team received a jolt out of the blue late on Friday night when the BCCI dropped a bombshell announcing that Ravichandran Ashwin, who is their premier spinner, has withdrawn from the Indian Test immediately due to a medical emergency in the family. The board did not give any details and asked the public to respect the privacy of the Indian star while adding that the BCCI offers its full support to Ashwin in this time of need.
While nothing more was revealed, now it has been revealed that Ashwin flew to Chennai to attend to his mother, who fell sick. Rajiv Shukla, the BCCI vice president, confirmed in a post that Ashwin had indeed rushed out of Rajkot to be with his mom.
Shukla posted on X, “Wishing speedy recovery to the mother of @ashwinravi99. He has to rush and leave Rajkot Test for Chennai to be with his mother. @BCCI.”
In these testing times, prayers and best wishes go out to the Indian champion and his family.
