India has emerged victorious in the One Day International (ODI) series against Australia, the start of their World Cup mission. The tournament is scheduled to begin on October 5, with India playing its first match against Australia on October 8. Before this, the Indian team had to play two practice matches. The thing to note is that today on 28th September an important change is expected within Team India.

According to media reports, there is a possibility of a prominent player being included in the Indian World Cup team, who had refused to participate in the Asia Cup.

This player is none other than Ravichandran Ashwin, who is making a strong claim for his entry into the World Cup team. Ashwin's claim has been strengthened by the injury of Akshar Patel, who was injured just before the Asia Cup final. Currently, Akshar is in the National Cricket Academy (NCA) and according to reports, he has not recovered yet. If the situation remains the same then there is a possibility that Ashwin can secure a place in the World Cup team.

Ashwin has proved his ability while playing in the ODI series against Australia. In the first two matches, he showed his bowling prowess and took a total of four wickets. In the Indore ODI, he took three important wickets on a pitch that traditionally favors batsmen. Also, Ashwin's experience, cricketing understanding, and batting skills can be beneficial for Team India during the World Cup.

Is Washington Sundar also in the race?

Washington Sundar is also a contender for a place in the World Cup team. He is a young player whose batting skills can be useful to Team India and he is also an economical bowler. However, it appears that Ashwin's name emerges as the preferred option.

Dinesh Karthik has also made an interesting revelation. Karthik revealed in an interview that he knew that Ashwin had to play in the Asia Cup final but he refused to play the match. He told Team India management that he was not ready for One Day International (ODI) at that time. This is why Washington Sundar was suddenly called to play in the Asia Cup final against Sri Lanka. Now it remains to be seen what changes will happen in the World Cup team.
