Ashwin: Pressure off my back, I see myself doing a lot more in the next few years

The Hindu  

Free from the immense pressure of being an Indian cricketer, Ravichandran Ashwin envisions a more active and impactful role in cricket in the coming years. In a chat with former England captains, Michael Atherton and Nasser Hussain, on Sky Cricket Podcast, Ashwin revealed that one of the reasons he retired in the middle of the series is that he did not get the same creative satisfaction out of his game. “One line I have always said when people ask me ‘what is next?’ I have said the day I wake up and feel that creative side doesn’t have a future or direction is when I would probably give it up. So I thought okay if this is not the lab, I can find another one,” said the second highest wicket taker for India in Test cricket. “One tag that have always come behind me, that people have tended to say that I am a numbers man, I know my numbers, probably gave the impression that I went after number, that was never the case.
