Reacting on his YouTube channel, Srikkanth said, “I am not sure why Ashwin retired. If I were in his place, I would have continued playing IPL for at least another two years. Of course, for Ashwin, money, fame, or name is not an issue. But he could have played in the IPL for another two years and then gone on to play in the other leagues.”

The former Indian chief selector further noted, “One can play other leagues for the sake of it, but what you get in the IPL, other leagues don’t come close to it.”
Srikkanth said, “Ashwin has been one of the best IPL cricketers India has produced. His name to fame itself was through the IPL and CSK, especially when he kept dismissing Chris Gayle for fun.”

At the end, the former World Cup winner has opined that Ashwin’s decision to retire in the middle of the three-year IPL deal with the CSK was unexpected and hints at the trade drama in the five-time champions’ camp, but it might give him chances to play or even work as a coach in foreign leagues.
Well, Ashwin may have retired from the IPL, but he is still very much connected to the Chennai Super Kings. He remains the head of CSK’s academies and the High-Performance Centre. CSK has the option to keep Ashwin in these roles regardless of his decision to play in the overseas leagues.
