The ex-India spinner was part of the ILT20 auction; however, he ended up without any potential buyer and is now all set to play a full season in the Big Bash League. As per reports, Ashwin's expectations were not met during the auction of the fourth edition.
“I was about to pull out a few days before the auction because of the Thunder deal, but since I had already committed to the ILT20 that I would enter the auction, I honoured my word. However, I did not agree to lowering my base price,” said Ashwin, as quoted by Cricbuzz.
