Spinner Ravichandran Ashwin said that he was struggling to sleep while playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as the deadly Covid-19 affected his family members. Eventually, Ashwin withdrew after just five IPL matches, citing concern for the health of his family members who were down with the virus.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Almost everyone from my place had got affected due to Covid. In fact, [a] few of my cousins also got admitted and were serious and they somehow recovered,<\/strong>" said Ashwin in a Youtube video.<\/p>\r\n\r\n "I couldn't sleep for almost eight-nine days. Since I could not sleep, it was really stressful for me. I was playing matches without getting any sleep. And since I found it really taxing, I had to quit IPL and go home midway<\/strong>," he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Ashwin said he wondered if he would ever return to the sport. "In fact, when I left, around that time, I had thoughts on whether I will be able to play cricket thereafter. But, still, I did what was required at that point of time,<\/strong>" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n Ashwin said that he was pondering over a comeback into the tournament when the IPL was suspended indefinitely. The decision was taken this month when multiple cases of Vocid-19 cropped up within four of the eight IPL franchises, in Ahmedabad and New Delhi.<\/p>\r\n\r\n "I thought there won't be any cricket for some time. Even IPL got postponed. In between, when people in my house started recovering, I thought of coming back into the IPL and that's when IPL was called off,<\/strong>" said Ashwin.<\/p>\r\n",
