Ashwin last played for the national cricket team in the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25, where he scored 22 and 7 runs in his two innings. He also took Mitchell Marsh's wicket, which happened to be his last international scalp. Ashwin was replaced by Ravindra Jadeja for the third Test.
“Some decisions are very personal and I don’t think too many questions should be asked or raised," Rohit told reporters on Wednesday.
Rohit Sharma revealed that Ravichandran Ashwin had informed him about his intention to retire from international cricket when he arrived in Perth. Rohit emphasized that Ashwin should have the freedom to retire on his own terms.
“It’s important when a player like him who has had so many moments with the Indian team and he has been a truly big match winner for us, he is allowed to make those decisions on his own and if it was now, so be it," Rohit concluded.
