The 2022 T20 World Cup saw Ravichandran Ashwin make a dramatic return to the shortest format of the game. Banking on his Indian Premier League form, Ashwin found a place in India's T20 World Cup squad. While such a return to 50-over format can't be entirely ruled out, it doesn't look like the off-spinner is the selectors' plans for the ODI World Cup this year. When asked about his absence from the one-day format, especially in reference to the World Cup, Ashwin said that he had decided long ago to not give any mental space to such thoughts.
