Ravichandran Ashwin Poised for Double Duty: BBL and ILT20 Campaigns on the Horizon

UAE or Australia is no longer a dilemma for Ravichandran Ashwin. It now looks like a double dose - twin assignments - rather than having to choose between the ILT20 and the Big Bash League (BBL). The veteran spinner, who would have otherwise faced the dilemma of picking one of the two leagues because of overlapping schedules later this year, will almost certainly end up playing in both.

Cricbuzz can confirm that Ashwin, one of India's greatest spinners, has registered for the ILT20 auction and, in all likelihood, will also feature in the BBL in Australia. He has had offers from multiple franchises - both the Sydney sides (Sixers and Thunder), as well as Ricky Ponting's Hobart Hurricanes and Tim Paine's Adelaide Strikers. He will, of course, have to choose one of them.
