Ashwin backs Bhuvneshwar Kumar for ODI World Cup after T20I recall
xCruzo Brief
Ravichandran Ashwin believes Bhuvneshwar Kumar could be pulled back into India’s ODI plans if he performs well in the five-match T20I tour of New Zealand. The 36-year-old fast bowler was named to India’s 16-man T20I squad on October 6, after the BCCI senior selection committee’s announcement. The series starts on October 22 at Hagley Oval in Christchurch, giving Bhuvneshwar a chance to prove fitness and form. Ashwin said selectors will monitor closely, suggesting Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah could be in line for India’s 2027 ODI World Cup. Bhuvneshwar last played for India in New Zealand in November 2022.
