Ashwin Explains Promise Behind His Sudden Retirement
Ex-cricketer R. Ashwin said he retired during last year’s Australia tour because of a promise he made long ago. After losing the 2012 home series to England, he told himself he would retire if he lost another home series. So, when India lost to New Zealand at home, he kept his promise. He added that Captain Rohit and Coach Gambhir asked him not to retire.
