Former India Coach Ashwin Sees Leadership Leap in New European T20 League

Ravichandran Ashwin, a veteran off‑spinner and ex‑India head coach, believes his appointment as captain‑mentor of the Dublin Guardians marks a pivotal shift in his professional journey. He said the franchise’s confidence in his abilities stems from his domestic leadership experience.

Ashwin noted that overseeing a franchise in a fresh league brings both excitement and responsibility. He hopes the partnership with Rohit Dravid will enhance the ETPL’s stature and deliver tangible improvements over time.

After recovering from knee surgery, Ashwin is eager to re‑enter competitive cricket, this time from a managerial standpoint, viewing the opportunity as a logical step toward future coaching or administrative roles.
