I agree Ashwin brings a lot to the Indian team so a lot of criticism directed towards him is unwarranted.

However, why not Axar Patel? He has clearly outbowled both Ashwin and Jadeja in India with a bowling average of 11.9. Like them he is also a decent bat, with a Test average of 29.8.

Patel may fail abroad, but he deserves a chance.

He is injured right now.
