Sydney Thunder\u2019s star signing Ravichandran Ashwin has been ruled out of the upcoming Big Bash League (BBL) season due to a knee injury which he sustained during a training session. The Indian veteran spinner shared the aforesaid news on Instagram, confirming that he will not be a part of BBL 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ashwin wrote, \u201cDear Thunder Nation, I wanted to write this myself. While training in Chennai to prepare for the upcoming season, I hurt my knee. I\u2019ve had a procedure, and the outcome means I will miss BBL|15. That is tough to say. I was genuinely excited to be part of this group and play in front of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor now it is rehab, recovery, and doing the work to come back stronger. From my first chat with the club, I have felt only warmth from Trent, the staff, the players, and so many of you who have already reached out. Thank you for making me feel at home before a ball has been bowled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI will be watching every game and cheering for both our women\u2019s and men\u2019s teams. If rehab and travel line up, and only if the doctors are happy, I would love to be around later in the season and say hello in person. No promises. That is the intent. Thank you for the love. Wishing both Thunder teams a big year,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the time of signing, Thunder\u2019s General Manager Trent Copeland had called Ashwin\u2019s inclusion as a \u201cpinch-yourself\u201d moment. He also said \u201cI think it\u2019s arguably the biggest signing in BBL history \u2013 the first Indian legend and an icon of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ashwin played 65 T20Is for India, where he took 72 wickets at an economy of 6.90. In the IPL, he took 187 wickets in 221 matches. He was also a part of Chennai Super Kings\u2019 title wins in 2010 and 2011 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
