NEW DELHI: Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin announced his retirement from international cricket after the Brisbane Test against Australia ended in a draw.
At the end of the Brisbane Test, Ashwin made the announcement during a joint press conference with captain Rohit Sharma.
He said, “I will not take up much of your time. Today is my last day as an international cricketer. I have made many memories with Rohit Sharma and my other teammates during my career, although I have lost some of them [after retirement].”
Ashwin thanked the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), coaches, and most importantly, his teammates, including Rohit, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, and Cheteshwar Pujara, for their support.
After announcing his retirement, Ashwin left the press conference without answering any questions from the journalists. Rohit Sharma replied, saying that it was Ashwin’s decision, and they should respect it.
Before Ashwin’s announcement, a video went viral showing Virat Kohli hugging Ashwin in the dressing room during the India-Australia match, sparking speculation about his retirement.
Ashwin featured in the second Test of the series against Australia in Adelaide where he took just one wicket in two innings.
Ashwin will continue to play in the T20 format and will represent Chennai Super Kings in the 2025 IPL.
