cricket veteran R Ashwin returns to Team India following his retirement from the Indian Premier League - specifics within
The Hong Kong Sixes tournament, known for its fast-paced and entertaining format, is set to return for another exciting edition from November 7-9. This year, the event will see the participation of Indian spin wizard, Ravichandran Ashwin.
Organised by Cricket Hong Kong, the tournament features distinctive rules that make it a unique experience for both players and spectators. Each team consists of six players, and the matches are short and action-packed, attracting international teams and star players in a more informal, six-a-side format distinct from traditional cricket formats.
Ashwin, a former Chennai Super Kings player in the Indian Premier League (IPL), has had a remarkable career in the tournament. His IPL journey began in 2009, and over the years, he played in 221 matches, securing 187 wickets. This impressive performance ranks him as the fifth-highest wicket-taker in the tournament's history. However, his 2025 season was less successful, with only 7 wickets in 9 games, an economy rate of 9.13.
Despite his retirement from the IPL and international cricket, Ashwin will represent Team India in the Hong Kong Sixes tournament. The news of his participation was announced through Cricket Hong Kong's social media platform, X.
Ashwin's career extends beyond the IPL, as he has also represented the India Cricket Team in 106 matches, achieving a total of 537 wickets. His retirement from all formats of cricket was announced earlier this year.
The Hong Kong Sixes tournament returned in 2024, and with the announcement of Ashwin's participation, the 2025 edition promises to be even more exciting. The tournament's unique rules, such as a batter retiring after reaching fifty runs and each fielder bowling one over, add to the event's charm and unpredictability.
Fans of cricket and Ashwin alike are eagerly awaiting the Hong Kong Sixes tournament, set to be a thrilling display of skill and entertainment.
