Ashwin prepares for his big bash league debut with Sydney Thunder
Ashwin’s next big venture comes in the form of the Big Bash League (BBL), where he will be making his debut with Sydney Thunder. After announcing his retirement from IPL cricket, Ashwin signed a full-season contract with the Thunder, making him the first senior capped Indian cricketer to feature in the Australian T20 competition. His involvement in the BBL is a significant step in his post-international career, as he aims to bring his experience and expertise to the league. Ashwin’s inclusion is a rare sight for Indian fans, as it marks the first time in BBL history that a senior Indian player will take part in the tournament, following Unmukt Chand’s brief stint in 2022. His presence is expected to boost the Thunder’s spin department and provide valuable leadership for younger players.
