Since the news of BCCI shortlisting the names of 20 Players for the 2023 ODI World Cup popped up, the fans as well as the veteran Indians have started assuming the squad. Team India is yet to play its first ODI of 2023 and the team will be taking on Sri Lanka in Guwahati in the first match.
Meanwhile, the former Indian batter Ajay Jadeja feels that veteran Indian spinner R Ashwin should be there in the Indian 2023 ODI World Cup Squad. He said that Yuzvendra Chahal would be the obvious choice for India but R Ashwin’s experience can bring an X-factor for the team in the upcoming marquee event.
While giving his opinion on Cricbuzz, the former cricketer said, “I would play Ashwin in India in that World Cup because spin will be (important). Chahal, you don’t need to play now, you need to play him in the World Cup. These are ready whether you want them or not.”
Moving further, Jadeja also showed his interest in Mohammed Shami and said that if Jasprit Bumrah is a sure pick for the ODI World Cup 2023, Shami will also be there seeing his current form.
He added, “Jasprit Bumrah, you got to pick, for sure. I am going with just for the current form, I would go with Shami, there’s no way I can leave him out.”
“I would go with Arshdeep Singh. He may not have a good last couple of games, but that’s the future. He’s the only left arm you’re looking at, brilliant with the new ball. It’s unfortunate that he’s so good with the old ball that the Indian team started using him with the old ball and not with the new one. “So, I would go with him and Umran Malik. Then I’ll pick Chahal there,” said Jadeja.
