The UAE Based Ilt20 auction witnessed a Surprise when Veteran Indian Spinner Ravichandran Ashwin Went Unsold. R Ashwin, Who Had Retired from Both International Cricket and Indian Premier League (IPL), was expecting opoportunities in overseas leagues. After Confirming His Participation in the Big Bash League (BBL), He was expecting to join the ult20.

R Ashwin Enerized The Auction at a Base Price of $ 120,000 – The Highest of Any Player, but no one made a bid for him. In Fact, He could not even get a bid in the accelerated round of bidding eite. This left fans and other observers wondering why a player of his expertise and reputation could not attract any fidders. Later, it was reported that off-spinner might have simply withdrawn from the auction at the last minute, adding an even more intriguing twist to the story.

Former New Zealand Cricketer Simon Doll, Said in the Live Broadcast, “We’re Hearing That He May Have Pulled Out Of The Auction, which is a massive surprise. I mean, you’ve got to read the ROM. Money Left, with Three or Four Teams Still Holding more than $ 400,000 in their pursie.

Another factor to this situation is the clash between bbl and ult20. The period running from December 4 to January 4 Sydney Thunder, it would have been impossible to play for two tournaments in different parts of the world at the same time, especially in a relatively in a relatively shop Tour.

In light of this, ashwin might have consciously chion not to participate in ult20 for fear of overcommitment and travel commitments. However, there is still some possibility that he can appear as a wildcard signing in ult20 if and when the franchies do decide to make that Happy. Nonetheless, this moment leaves fans questioning the choice of the game’s most veteran spinners.
