Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has urged the Indian team management to provide Washington Sundar with “proper” role clarity, warning that the bowling all-rounder could otherwise be left “searching for who he is.”

Ashwin stressed that Washington must be treated as a frontline bowling all-rounder and given a full quota of overs to build confidence with the bat as well. The 26-year-old has bowled only seven overs across the first two ODIs against South Africa and is yet to take a wicket.
