Ashwin Opens Up on Retirement, BCCI Imposes 14-Day Family Travelling Restriction

Mumbai, India - January 15 (Alayaran NewsWire) - Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has shed light on his retirement from international cricket, dismissing the concept of a 'farewell Test' as overrated. According to Ashwin, he didn't want to force himself onto the team again just for one more game with India.

On the other hand, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced that it will revert to its 14-day limit on family travelling with Indian players on overseas tours, following a recent Border-Gavaskar Trophy debacle.

In related news, India women's cricket team is set to whitewash their three-match ODI series against Ireland with a win in the finale match on Wednesday. The team has already taken an unassailable 2-0 lead.

In other sports news, England captain Heather Knight urged her batsmen to take more responsibility during the upcoming matches, following their recent loss to Australia in the second ODI.

Additionally, BCCI has brought back the 14-day family travelling limit for Indian players on foreign tours. This move is a response to the controversy surrounding the number of supporters accompanying the team members on previous tours.
