BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — Star Indian allrounder Ravichandran Ashwin has announced his immediate retirement from international cricket. Ashwin made the announcement Wednesday at a hastily-called media conference following the drawn test between Australia and India at the Gabba.

Anil Kumble has revealed why he was disappointed after R Ashwin's retirement. Ashwin announced his retirement from international cricket after the third Test match against Australia. The India legend only played one out of the first 3 Tests before he returned home.

Ravichandran Ashwin's sudden retirement from international cricket after the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy raised questions about the team management's handling of his departure. Anil Kumble criticised the lack of a “grand farewell” plan for Ashwin.
