RAVICHANDRANA ASHWIN has expressed concern that Bhuvneshwar Kumar's India career could be over, suggesting the veteran seamer's international future is in doubt following his omission from recent squads.
The comments come amid Bhuvneshwar's recent omission from India's squad selections, with Ashwin indicating that the 'chapter may be closed' on the pacer's international journey. Bhuvneshwar, known for his swing bowling and death-over expertise, has been a regular in the Indian setup but has struggled to force his way back into the playing XI in recent times.
The veteran seamer's ability to swing the new ball and execute yorkers in the death overs has made him a valuable asset in limited-overs cricket, but consistent selection has eluded him. Ashwin's remarks highlight the competitive nature of international selection and the reality that even established players must continually adapt to remain relevant.
While Bhuvneshwar has represented India in all three formats, his recent form and the emergence of new bowling options have placed his place in the team under scrutiny. The situation reflects the challenging balance teams must strike between experience and current form in international cricket.
