In recent years, bowlers have begun to receive more recognition in international cricket. The ICC World Test Championship was a competition in which bowlers played a significant role.

Ravi Ashwin is a well-known player who has proven himself in the past. He began his career as a limited-overs bowler before moving up to the Test team.
