"(Ravichandran) Ashwin, as a cricketer, maybe he hasn't received the respect he deserves in the dressing room; I don't know about it. He's wondering if he'll be in the playing XI or not. He's the world's No. 3 bowler, and taking 537 wickets for India is a huge achievement," Latif noted.
Washington Sundar played the first Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy ahead of the seniors like Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. Sundar is also seen as the successor of Ashwin for India in Test cricket.

"But as a cricketer, as a genius of the game, there are many cricketers in India, but Ashwin is on a different level. His qualities are of a different level. I believe that in the future, he could take over BCCI or ICC as he's that capable," Latif said.
