Twitter rips BCCI apart for excluding Rishabh Pant from World Cup squad

Wasn’t Pant elevated to the top tier of the Central Contracts a few weeks back?? Not a certainty in two of the three formats. 😐🤨

6 mnths back, Mohammad Shami was nowhere near being considered for white ball cricket, but some outstanding performances has ensured he plays his 2nd World Cup. Him & Jadeja have fought their way back in .There will be few disappointed players but best wishes to Team India

Karthik over Pant is defensive thinking IMO. If Pant is first choice wk for Tests, what reduces his ability for ODIs?

— Cricketwallah (@cricketwallah)

good selection, all players are deserving to be in 15.

Hard Luck to , he will get his chances in the future, who knows it may be for itself.

All the Best for for

WC is not a place to experiment...Pant's time will definitely come in the future

— Sivaram G (@sivaramkrish13)

Not a single surprise selection in ’s squad

— Chowkidar Bαℓαנι (@BJTweets201)

Not pessimistic, but this is heights of inconsistency.



You cant have a guy like Shankar playing at No. 4 who just doesn't have the experience to control the game.



Has to be Dhoni at No. 4 with this selection.

I m seeing In the place of because you have already 2 all rounder in the squad (Hardik & Jadeja) , and what rishabh is done in cricket field is awsm!!

No in the World Cup Squad ... India must be bonkers !!!!!

It’s impossible to keep everyone happy with team selections but Karthik inclusion surprising. Selectors guilty of showing no consistency in his case. Discarded after Jan 2019 to select straight for the WC. Shankar is a lucky man to make it.

Still feel that India could have gone with a fourth seamer but having said that getting 14/15 right isn't too bad

— Hemang Badani (@hemangkbadani)

Heartbreak for Pant. Karthik gets nod because of better keeping skills, just in case MSD is injured before a crucial match

— Cricketwallah (@cricketwallah)

Rishab pant alone equals to Dhoni + Kartik +Jadeja

— UmarFarukh (@itssUmarFarukh)

33 year old Dinesh karthik makes a comeback to the world cup squad after missing out on two previous editions. Never give up on your dreams.

Why jadeja in wc squad we already have kuldeep, chahal ,kedar as spiner nd WC is in England where we will get pace bowling condition, nd we already hav gd attack.. Why not pant instead of jadeja

— Shubham Thakran (@Shubham_thakran)

DK over Rishabh Pant is the most sensible selection has done in recent days ..! Class prevailed over Fantasy ! Feel bad for Rayudu though ..! Hope this team wins the worldcup ..! 👍🏻

Rishabh Pant gets 4 years to improve his wicket keeping skills.
