'Ashwin retirement start of team's transition, next 3 weeks...'
Ravichandran Ashwin's sudden retirement from international cricket during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series has signaled the start of India's transition phase. Aakash Chopra believes Ashwin's decision stemmed from limited overseas opportunities, exacerbated by Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar's presence. Chopra anticipates more retirements may follow, reshaping the team's composition in the coming months.
