Looking forward to a new beginning and more challenges,&quot; Ashwin tweeted.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;If I don&#39;t make it to both of these teams, I will go into the auction. Does not matter who picks me, all I need is new challenges. No stagnating,&quot; the Chennai-born spinner said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Till the 2015 IPL season, Ashwin represented Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and played under the leadership of Mahendra Singh Dhoni.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But after the suspension of IPL franchises CSK and Rajasthan Royals (RR) in July this year from the league for two years by the Supreme Court-appointed Justice Lodha Committee in the spot fixing and betting scandal that rocked the Twenty20 tournament in 2013, two new teams were introduced for two years by the country&rsquo;s cricket board.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pune will be given the choice to pick the players first because they were the lowest bidders (negative bids) to buy the new team for two years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">CSK and RR will be allowed back in the league after serving their suspension.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ninth edition of the IPL is scheduled from April 9 to May 29 next year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Agency<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
