Massive Big Bash boost after Indian legend’s surprise $182k snub​

In a massive boost for the Big Bash League, Indian legend Ravichandran Ashwin has indicated he will play the entire season for the Sydney Thunder after going unsold in Wednesday’s ILT20 Auction.

Last week, the Thunder announced the landmark signing of Ashwin for the 15th edition of the BBL, with the 39-year-old becoming the first capped Indian player to feature in the Australian T20 competition.

Initially, the off-spinner was set to only be available for the club’s final three matches and the playoffs due to ILT20 commitments, entering the UAE tournament’s auction with the highest base price of US$120,000 (AU$182,000). However, Ashwin withdrew his name from the auction after going unsold in the first round, with none of the six franchises showing interest.
