With Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) suspended from the IPL for the next two seasons, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) welcomed Sanjiv Goenka’s New Rising group with the Pune franchise and the Delhi-based Intex group with the Rajkot franchise to the next two seasons of IPL jamboree on December 8 in Delhi.
After the draft for the top players was scheduled to take place on December 10 at the Mumbai Cricket Association’s clubhouse in the Bandra-Kurla Complex, Indian off-spinner took to the micro blogging site Twitter to express his feelings about the draft.
In three days time,Pune or Rajkot will be my new summer destination.Looking forward to a new beginning and more challenges.

Ashwin also said that if he is not picked in the draft, then he is ready to go the auction.
If I don'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

Along with Ashwin, the likes of MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Suresh Raina, Brendon McCullum, Ajinkya Rahane, Steve Smith and Shane Watson would be the leading players available in the draft.
Ashwin’s followers on Twitter also jumped into the conversation by asking the off-spinner some fascinating queries.
