`Biased selection`: Arshdeep Singh fans slam Team India management after another `snub` in IND vs WI 3rd ODI, check reactions
Arshdeep Singh was not included in the playing XI for India vs West Indies 3rd ODI
Arshdeep Singh was not included in the playing XI against West Indies in the third and final ODI of the 3-match series between India and WI. The Men in Blue selection was questioned through social media when skipper Shikhar Dhawan announced that Prasidh Krishna is replacing Avesh Khan after winning the toss against West Indies at the Queen's Park Oval, Port of Spain.
Fans were left frustated as the left-arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh didn't get a chance to make his ODI debut despite India already having an unassailable lead in the 3-match series of 2-0. The Punjab Kings bowler who impressed with his performances in the IPL 2022 season was given a chance against England in a T20 international. (IPL to have two seasons in a year?

Notably, Arshdeep took 2 wickets with an impressive economy rate of 5.14 against England, when he got the opportunity to bowl.
