Former India all-rounder S Madan Lal has slammed the exclusion of off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and leggie Yuzvendra Chahal from the Asia Cup squad. The selectors picked spin bowling all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel and wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav in the 17-member squad announced on Monday. “Ashwin is the best and he should have been there in the team,” Madan Lal told mid-day.
