http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Ashwin-c2228 does not rule out Test berth – Cricket News Update
Ravichandran Ashwin, the Indian-spinner believes that he has what it takes to make it to the Test team and labeling him as just an ODI player is unfair.
The off-break bowler burst on to the scene with some scintillating performances in the Indian Premier League for the Chennai Super Kings. Under the captaincy of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028, he became very effective bowling with the new ball.
His heroics helped Chennai win the title for the first time in 2010, and he continued his good form in the 4th edition, where the franchise retained his services for 850K Dollars.
Chennai also won the second edition of the Champions League T20 with Ashwin being named the Player of tournament, taking 13 wickets and was also awarded the Golden Wicket.
However, the 24-year-old is not content with this tag and believes that he can play the longer format of Cricket with the same proficiency.
“The IPL has showcased a format which is visible on TV. I started for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tamil-Nadu-c853 and won the best bowler award in a four-day competition. It just tells me I am good enough," he said.
His first-class record has been impressive too, with the player bagging 134 scalps in 34 matches with an average of 28.12.
The white-wash suffered at the hands of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/A-Mishra-c871 not coming up to the mark, it is an opportunity for the player to cement his
place in the team.
After the conclusion of the English tour, Ashwin will feature in the CLT20, which starts from September the 19th. Immediately after the tournament, the Men In Blue will have a chance to take revenge as the Poms tour http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 for a full series, which
the player believes will be a good opportunity for his team to bounce back.
"It's bound to be different. There would be more people in the stands. It wouldn't be like you can play on the up as they do in England. Conditions would be different. We might enjoy an upper hand. We might do better," he added.
