Ravichandran Ashwin and franchise concluded it was best to part ways, reveals Ness Wadia

Kings XI Punjabâs co-owner Ness Wadia, on Wednesday, revealed that the parting between Ravichandran Ashwin and the team was âamicably agreedâ upon by both parties. Ex captain of the Punjab franchise in the Indian Premier League, Ashwin will no longer represent them starting from IPL 2020.
While Wadia has given a confirmation about Ashwinâs departure, thereâs no such official word on the playerâs possible trade-off to Delhi Capitals. Earlier, Wadia had attested that there was no way that would think of letting Ashwin go. However, the co-owner has now confirmed that discussions over Ashwinâs move have resumed.
âAshwin and we have decided amicably that we will part ways. There are a few options and we are talking to all of them,â Wadia said, as quoted by Sportstar.
What brought about the possible trade-off is a âcollective decisionâ made mutually to reach to a conclusion thatâs âbest for everyoneâ.
âThatâs an internal discussion. There was a collective decision and we amicably concluded that it will be best to part ways. Thatâs the most important thing. There is no animosity. At the end of the day, we decided as a franchise, and he decided as a player. We put our minds together and we decided whatâs best for everyone,â the Kings XI co-owner said.
âNothing has been finalised yet. We are talking to a lot of franchises and letâs see how things go,â he further added talking about the transfer.
On being asked whether there has been any thoughts on who the new captain will be, whether KL Rahul or not, Wadia attested that nothing had been finalised yet. âNothing has been decided on the captain. It is all work in progress."
