The perpetual seeker: Ashwin, who always found ways to get a wicket, retires from international cricket
The timing is not shocking; Ashwin is 38 years old. The space is not unusual; Ashwin misses more Tests than he plays in countries such as Australia. But time and space taken together as one construct, the basis for Einstein’s Theory of Relativity – which Ashwin the engineer will only be too familiar with – ensure that there will be more questions than answers, in this case.
The conspiracy theorists will insist that it was the insult of being repeatedly left out of the Test team that pushed Ashwin over the edge. The pragmatists will point to the fact that Washington Sundar’s emergence has ensured that his senior colleague isn’t even an automatic second choice spinner when playing in Australia, England, South Africa or New Zealand. The inner circle in cricket will remind the world that only a player truly knows when he or she is finally done.
In varying degrees, they are all right and wrong. For Ashwin does not lend himself into being put neatly into one box. He began serious cricket as an opening batsman, and ended as one of Test cricket’s greatest, and most successful slow bowlers of all time. Ashwin has bowled a lot of offspin, some legspin and almost everything in between.
