The plot behind Ravichandran Ashwin’s international retirement thickens as the India all-rounder returned home from Australia on Thursday. Ashwin, who had flown out of Australia within hours of leaving the cricket world stunned with his decision to retire, was warmly welcomed at the Chennai airport.
Even Ashwin’s father and mother, who met him upon return to Chennai with tears in their eyes, admitted that the news was as much a shock to them as it was to millions of his fans across the globe. In fact, Ashwin’s father mentioned humiliation as the reason for the Test great’s decision to quit international cricket.
“I too came to know last minute, actually,” Ashwin’s father told News 18. “What was going on in his mind, I don’t know. He just announced. I, too, accepted it with full pleasure. I did not have any feelings at all for that. But I was very happy with how he gave his retirement, another part that was unhappy because he should have continued.”
