What's the value of the India cap then?: Ashwin rejects two-team theory with brutal take

Ravichandran Ashwin has strongly opposed the idea of India fielding separate T20I squads for overlapping international commitments. He emphasized that an India cap should retain its prestige and not be casually awarded, advocating for the India A pathway to groom talent instead. Ashwin believes this approach would preserve the value and respect associated with representing the senior national team.
