R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja are still not out of the 2019 World Cup race

South Africa Beat Team India by 5 wickets. India  is leading the series by 3-1.Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja have been not Playing OneDay Cricket Since last one Year  Now  Indian bowling coach Bharat Arun clarified that veteran spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja are still not out of the 2019 World Cup race.



Arun said, "At that point of time we wanted to try out all the talent we had and then wanted to decide who we wanted for the World Cup. We had a good pool of bowlers and given the volume of cricket we are playing, we needed to keep rotating the bowlers and keep them fresh for every format. These two bowlers showed a lot of promise and we thought that in these conditions wrist spinners would do a lot more than the finger spinners. They have come to the party here"

"It is not that Ashwin and Jadeja are out of the race, they could still be in the team," Arun told reporters on the eve of fourth ODI.Chahal and Yadav scalped 21 wickets in the first three ODIs against South Africa, which India won comfortably. Heaping praise on the wrist spinners, Arun said that the two clearly understand their roles.

"They are extremely positive, not afraid to flight the ball, not afraid to impart extra spin to gain something, and they are not dependent on the wicket. They get a lot out of the air. I think these bowlers have really understood their roles, understood the conditions well and I can only say that they have performed exceptionally well."

He continued saying, "They have troubled the best batsmen in the business back home. And we were extremely confident that they would come here to South Africa and also they would make inroads into their batting."
