The former spinner also pointed out that Suryakumar has been one of the most consistent performers in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and has been instrumental in his team’s success. ‘The selectors should have given him more time to get back to his rhythm and prove himself in the T20I format,’ Ashwin added.
