Cricketer R Ashwin argues that Bhuvneshwar Kumar could be considered for a return to India’s pace attack ahead of the 2027 World Cup. Both reports say Ashwin believes major tournaments require experienced bowlers, and that India’s current pace resources would benefit from the addition of a seasoned seamer. He points to Bhuvneshwar’s recent performances in the IPL, describing them as consistent, and also cites his fitness over the past seasons as a factor supporting his case. Ashwin also frames the idea as a balanced squad composition, suggesting India should combine younger players with experienced campaigners as it plans for the next World Cup cycle. The reports add that, in Ashwin’s view, selectors should take Bhuvneshwar into consideration as preparations for the 2027 tournament continue. The commentary is presented as an opinion on team selection rather than an announcement of selection or a formal squad update.
