Sunil Joshi was quoted as saying by IANS: “I also felt very surprised by that because I don't know what transpired or prospered during or between the second and third Test matches. But it's again Ashwin, who has been very upfront in his decisions. So, I'm not saying that it was a bad decision.”

We did miss a left-arm seamer on Australia tour: Sunil Joshi
However, Sunil Joshi remains hopeful about the team's fast-bowling prospects, but he pointed out that India missed having a left-arm pacer in their lineup in Australia. The former Indian further explained, “No, because we already have Troy Cooley; he's been in the NCA and is looking after the fast-bowling pool. So, I don't think there should be any worry. But definitely, we did miss a left-arm seamer in that line-up.”
Joshi signed off by saying, “If a left-arm seamer would have been there, then there would have been a little bit of change in angles because most of the Australian, English, or New Zealand batters, they are not very comfortable for the left-arm seamer because you're taking the ball away with a different angle. We just needed variety, but fortunately or unfortunately, both the bowlers Yash Dayal and Khaleel Ahmed were there, but they couldn't play, and that's unfortunate.”
