In response to Ashwin's retirement, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has named Tanush Kotian as his replacement for the remaining two Tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Kotian, a 26-year-old all-rounder from Mumbai, has been impressive in domestic cricket, particularly during the 2023-24 Ranji Trophy season. He took 29 wickets across 10 matches at an average of 16.96 and scored 502 runs, including five half-centuries and a century. His outstanding performance earned him the title of Player of the Tournament, contributing significantly to Mumbai’s 42nd Ranji title[1][3].
Kotian has also gained valuable experience playing for India A during their tour of Australia prior to the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. His inclusion in the Indian squad bolsters their spin options, which were previously limited to Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar following Ashwin's retirement[1][4].
The series between India and Australia is currently locked at 1-1, with the next two Tests scheduled to take place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) and the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). India will be looking to secure a series victory against their arch-rivals with Kotian's addition providing a strategic boost to their bowling attack and spin department[1][4].
