Former Indian coach Ravi Shastri revealed during the 3rd Test match commentary that BCCI secretary Jay Shah arranged a private charter plane for the off-spinner's round trip to Chennai due to a family emergency. BCCI made sure Ashwin could reach back home on time and be back the next day at the Tea break in Rajkot.
“BCCI secretary Jay Shah had arranged a charter plane for Ashwin’s trip home and back,” Shastri said while doing the commentary. Ashwin had to leave the team on the 2nd day of the 3rd Test match after he touched the 500 test wickets mark to attend his ailing mother.
“The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is pleased to announce the return of Ravichandran Ashwin to the squad after a brief absence due to a family emergency. Ashwin had to temporarily withdraw from the squad after Day 2 of the 3rd Test in Rajkot to attend to a family emergency,” BCCI had said in a statement.
