Pakistan Has Developed Exceptional Cricketers: Ravichandran Ashwin

Ashwin also said that Pakistan has developed some exceptional cricketers. He also feels that exposure to T20 leagues has been the primary reason for their re-emergence in the last 5-6 years.

“Pakistan has invariably developed exceptional cricketers. Thanks to its tape-ball cricket, they have always produced an incredible series of pacers. Also, their batting has been superior during the late 90s and 2000s”.

“But, the exposure they have got to various (T20) leagues has been the primary reason for their re-emergence in the previous five or six years. They also have the PSL (Pakistan Super League). Additionally, in the recent BBL (Big Bash League) drafts, there were at least 60-70 Pakistan players,” the off-spinner further said.
