<p>India were tournament favourites but their semi-final hopes have suffered a jolt after their second successive defeat in the Super 12 stage. They already have faced a humiliating 10-wicket defeat against their arch-rivals Pakistan.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Previously, Compton pointed out Ashwin's non-inclusion in the Playing XI in the fourth Test of India's recent tour to England for a five-match series. Compton had said that Ashwin was not selected due to personal issues with Kohli. "Please can someone explain how Kohli obvious personal issues with Ashwin are allowed to cloud an obvious selection issue?" wrote Compton.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Now, taking to his official Twitter, he has raised the same issue again as he questioned that should captains should be allowed such autonomy as he mentioned "Kohli’s prickly relationship with Ashwin".&nbsp;</p>
