"And also I believe my tennis is there at a level where, if I get through one of those matches, there'll be a big week soon. I beat Basilashvili earlier this year and he's playing in the final of Masters. I practised with Cam Norrie loads of times and handled myself just fine." the off-spinner came into the team in Abu Dhabi for his first T20I appearance in more than four years and it is over five since he was anything like a regular in the XI. However, he didn't miss a beat as he rattled through four overs, didn't concede a boundary and finished with 2-14. With stopping the opposition scoring runs as important as racking them up themselves, having an operator as canny as Ashwin back in the line-up could be like gold dust for India. To me, that fact is clearly driving change among other clubs. Their step change has forced big changes elsewhere, as we will see. Linz will be Raducanu's final tournament of the season, after which she will take a short break to recharge and reflect before embarking on a first serious winter training block.
