BCCI provided an update on the development but did not mention that the medical issue relates Ashwin's mother. However, BCCI President Rajeev Shukla posted on X that it's off-spinner's mother, who has fallen sick."Ravichandran Ashwin has withdrawn from the Test squad, effective immediately due to a family medical emergency. In these challenging times, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the team fully supports Ashwin," BCCI said in a media release.

Ashwin had a wonderful day with both bat and ball in Rajkot on day two of the third Test. Coming into bat after India lost two wickets early on, he stitched together a calculated 77-run partnership with Dhruv Jurel to ensure India went past the 400-run mark.
