He was also not sure whether Ashwin would get a game in the upcoming World Cup.Speaking to Sports Tak, Sunil Gavaskar gave his views on Ravichandran Ashwin's selection for the World Cup and said:"Ashwin's return is a good thing but we'll have to wait and see if he gets a place in the playing XI. You have selected him in the 15, that's alright. You chose him in the squad in England as well but are not giving him the chance in the XI. So, he's perhaps just given a consolation cup to make up for the disappointment that he might have from here (in England). Will he play in the XI? Only time will tell."He continued:"MS Dhoni being the mentor is bigger news than Ashwin's selection because he's a captain who led India to the 2011 World Cup and 2007 T20 World Cup wins. If he's in that camp, then India will immensely benefit from it."Indian cricket fans will be hoping Ravichandran Ashwin will turn the clock back during the upcoming T20 World Cup and put in some match-winning performances for the team if given a chance.
