'There should never be knee-jerk reaction': Shastri's unsparing Ashwin reminder to Rohit, Dravid for 2023 World Cup

Hindustan Times  

India have been served with two massive chances to end their long drought of another ICC trophy in 2023. But the Rohit Sharma-led India have one another chance remaining - the ODI World Cup, slated to happen later in October at home. And even though India head into the tournament as favourites, former India head coach Ravi Shastri sent out an unsparing warning to Rohit and head coach Rahul Dravid given them reminder of that Ashwin decision in WTC final. Ravi Shastri has a message for Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid for 2023 World Cup Despite being the No.1 ranked Test bowler as per the ICC and the highest wicket-taker for India in that WTC cycle, Ashwin was dropped to make way for an extra seamer in the final, a move that later backfired in their second consecutive defeat in the tournament's final. With India now looking ahead to the 50-over World Cup with the final phase of the preparation starting with the West Indies series next month, Shastri, in an interview with The Week, urged the team management to not show “knee-jerk reaction” before backing the team as favourites along with England and Australia.
