Former India spinner Laxman Sivaramakrishnan lamented that the current lot of leg-spinners don't have the ambition to play Test cricket and blamed it on too much stress on reverse swinging the ball these days.
India will be looking for a good showing from their top batsmen in the tri-series final against Sri Lanka.
BCCI's acting secretary Amitabh Choudhary stated that the final call on the new coach will be taken by the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) comprising Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman.
To prove his point, Laxman cited the example of Steve Smith's trouble against Ashwin during India's recent tour Down Under.
