Reacting to pacer Harshit Rana's inclusion in India's white-ball squad for Australia tour, ex-all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin said, "I'm not sure why they're selecting him." He recalled Rana's "brilliant pacy delivery" in the IPL final two years ago, adding that "he has played for a while for that one delivery". Ashwin termed the selection "questionable", but admitted that Rana has "X-factor."
