Pakistan faces Nepal in the first match while it will face India on September 2. India has won all the last three ODIs against Pakistan. Ashwin believes that the depth of the Pakistan team makes them strong contenders in the Asia Cup and the World Cup.
He said, ‘Pakistan has exceptionally talented players. Because of tape ball cricket, they always have the best fast bowlers. His batting has also been good in the nineties and 2000s. But playing in various T20 leagues, his batting has improved again in the last five-six years. Apart from the Pakistan Super League, he is also playing in the Big Bash League.
Ashwin said that the team should consider getting a bowler out of the crease as a ‘strategic advantage’. “Some of them, being morally high, will say in this case, ‘we don’t want to play this kind of cricket’,” he said. But smart teams will use such statements to their advantage. This is a strategic advantage.
He said, ‘When I did this in the IPL (Indian Premier League), it has been five years. Even today when some are saying that no one should do this. I can very well understand why they don’t want to do this. But I am surprised that you are still stuck on the same ideology.
Ashwin said, ‘I recently tweeted about it. So far me and Deepti Sharma have done this for India. And that is the reason why people in that part are accepting it. Have we seen England or Australia do this against India yet? An Indian journalist had tweeted on this and he is right. If Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma get out like this at a crucial stage during a World Cup match, will we still accept it?’
Ashwin said, ‘When it happens, only then we will know whether we have accepted it or not. But we have to accept it even if it happens to us because the fault is with the batsman and who is the batsman should not be the question.
