not sure what your point is considering he got dropped 4 yrs ago not sure what Red was saying in the OP got anything to do with him getting dropped 4 yrs.
it is like saying Root can't be a great player because he got dropped once in his career.
or Smith for the matter both got dropped from the Test team.
Need to check if Kohli got dropped in the team, not sure on him yet.
players get dropped from the team it does happen.
Anyway I am not claiming Ashwin is an all time great or anything but it is ridiculous people are seriously attacking him on something he did 4 yrs ago and that too on a limited sample size.
Suspect if india pace bowlers stay fit many people will have eggs in their faces since I personally think the spinners will do well overseas this time around although i have no idea which spinner will play, probably ashwin will be the spinner.
Suspect Ashwin won't do much bowling considering he probably won't need to if Shami, BK and Ishant bowl well.
the fact both spinners were not needed in Kolkata speak volumes since in the past both of them would have to bowl 30-40 overs plus in those conditions and be expected to take 5-7 wickets in the game.
