Former Team India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who has been linked with different overseas franchise leagues after his retirement from the Indian Premier League (IPL), was an absentee in the player auction list of SA20 2026.

The former cricketer recently opened up on his plans, saying that he could feature in two to three leagues in a year and will also be open to taking up the coaching role for a franchise.

Earlier, there were speculations that Ashwin may enter the SA20 2025 auction, considering that players retired from the Indian cricket team can be eligible to feature in the overseas tournaments.
