In a surprising development at the 2026 International League T20 (ILT20) Auction , veteran Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin went unsold. Despite being one of the most experienced campaigners in world cricket, Ashwin failed to attract any bids from the six ILT20 franchises.

This injury comes at a crucial time for New Zealand, as the series against Australia serves as vital preparation ahead of upcoming global tournaments. Coach Gary Stead admitted that lo...
