R Ashwin’s full statement on BBL Season 15 exit:
Dear Thunder Nation,
I wanted to write this myself.
While training in Chennai to prepare for the upcoming season, I hurt my knee. I’ve had a procedure, and the outcome means I will miss BBL|15. That is tough to say. I was genuinely excited to be part of this group and play in front of you.
For now it is rehab, recovery, and doing the work to come back stronger. From my first chat with the club, I have felt only warmth from Trent, the staff, the players, and so many of you who have already reached out. Thank you for making me feel at home before a ball has been bowled.
I will be watching every game and cheering for both our women’s and men’s teams. If rehab continues to look up, and only if the doctors are happy, I would love to be around later in the season and say hello in person. No promises. That is the intent.
Please keep packing ENGIE Stadium and keep the noise up. Your support matters more than you know.
Thank you for the love. Wishing both Thunder teams a big year.
With gratitude, Ravichandran Ashwin
