“Selection is a thankless job. You have to let someone out. When you talk to them, you have to go through that sadness and disappointment in their faces. I hope, someone has talked to Shreyas and Jaiswal,” Ashwin said on his YouTube channel Ash Ki Baat

Former India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin on Tuesday expressed disappointment over Shreyas Iyer’s exclusion from the Asia Cup squad, terming it “sad” and “unfair” while also questioning the logic behind leaving out opener Yashasvi Jaiswal.
“Selection is a thankless job. You have to let someone out. When you talk to them, you have to go through that sadness and disappointment in their faces. I hope, someone has talked to Shreyas and Jaiswal,” Ashwin said on his YouTube channel Ash Ki Baat.
While Iyer, who led Kolkata Knight Riders to the IPL title in 2024, was left out, young opener Jaiswal too did not make the cut.
“When you have Jaiswal as your third opener, you have brought Shubman Gill in the team by removing a person from the World Cup-winning squad. I mean, I am happy for Shubman but I’m very, very sad for both Shreyas and Jaiswal. It’s just not fair on both,” Ashwin said.
