    Ravichandran Ashwin is one of the most successful cricketers for India in Test cricket history. He has won many matches and series for India with his all-round brilliance. However, at the age of 38, Ashwin does not have much cricket left in him, especially in the longest format of the game.

    In the recent series against New Zealand at home, Ashwin could not perform at his best, while he struggled to make his mark in the pink-ball match against Australia as well. Perhaps, it is time that the BCCI starts preparing for a future after Ashwin.

    Here is a list of three young Indian players who the BCCI can groom to replace Ravichandran Ashwin in Test cricket soon.

    1. Washington Sundar is the ideal replacement for Ravichandran Ashwin

    Washington Sundar proved in the Pune Test against New Zealand that he is someone who the selectors can consider to replace Ashwin in the long run. Sundar has proven himself with the bat and the ball. Plus, he has plenty of years of cricket left in him, making him the best candidate to replace Ashwin in Tests.

    2. Tanush Kotian

    Uncapped all-rounder Tanush Kotian has been making waves in domestic cricket with his all-round brilliance. His name does not come up regularly, but he has been silently doing a fantastic job for Mumbai. Like Ashwin, Tanush is a right-arm off-spin bowler.

    3. Riyan Parag

    Although many fans consider Riyan Parag as a white-ball specialist, he has a decent experience of red-ball cricket as well. He averages more than 30 with the bat and has five four-wicket hauls to his name. He is just 23 years old, which is why BCCI can take a risk and groom him to be the next big thing in Indian cricket.
