Ashwin Dodges CSK Coaching Query, Jokes About England Role
The former Indian spinner responds to speculation linking him to the vacant head coach positions at Chennai Super Kings and England Test team.
During a recent episode of his YouTube series 'Ash ki Baat', Ravichandran Ashwin was asked by journalist Vimal Kumar about the possibility of taking over as Chennai Super Kings head coach after Stephen Fleming's departure. Ashwin deftly sidestepped the question, thanking Kumar for joining the show and ending the discussion without a direct answer.
When the conversation turned to the England Test head coach vacancy, Ashwin responded with humor, inventing a story about a phone call with ECB CEO Richard Gould. The light-hearted reaction came after reports named him a leading candidate for both roles following the exits of Brendon McCullum and Fleming.
Ashwin's playful deflection has only fueled further speculation, though he stopped short of confirming any interest in either position. The 38-year-old recently retired from international cricket.
