Since India lost to Australia in the WTC final, a lot has been said about the team composition. Many experts raised questions regarding Ashwin’s exclusion from the team. Many advocated that Ashwin merited a place in the team and that his presence could have made a significant difference. Ashwin has also given several interviews in the media expressing his disappointment with the captain and the coach.
Here is what netizens feel regarding the story.
It is an emotional outburst from Ashwin. Earlier, it was Ambati Raydu who balmed Venkatesh Prasad for spoiling his career. The only word I am waiting to hear now is #CricketMafia that will come soon I guess. @RaviShastriOfchttps://t.co/HAjerh7bN2

Is there any communication guideline by BCCI for players when they interact with media? Any person who isn't picked in the team will be unhappy. Where we draw the line? How do we do it right?

Now cricket has changed alot. The team composition is not as stable as it was in 90s. With so much young talent, it is a problem of plenty that India has. If you are not performing, there is always someone to replace you.

Also, you don't need to perform poorly to be dropped from the team. If the team composition is changed for some reason, you might not have a chance despite performing well. So with a Jadega in the team, including Ashwin does not make much sense.

We had same problem when a young Harbajan who could also throw the bat around burst into the scene and Kumble needed to be rested most of the times.
