'Give us clarity', Fans demand explanation on Prithvi Shaw missing out in SA ODI series

Fans were not impressed with the decision of the selectors as they opined that Prithvi Shaw atleast deserved a spot when major stars are busy with T20 World Cup 2022

BCCI announced Team India's squad for the upcoming ODI series against South Africa on Sunday (October 2). With veteran batter Shikhar Dhawan being handed the responsibility to lead the team, Shreyas Iyer was given the vice-deputy role. Interestingly, RCB batter Rajat Patidar is also handed his maiden Men in Blue callup but shcokingly there was no Prithvi Shaw in the squad. With such young names in the squad many were expecting the right-handed opener to make his comeback in Team India after a stellar domestic season.

Fans were not impressed with the decision of the selectors as they opined that Shaw atleast deserved a spot when major stars are busy with T20 World Cup 2022. The cricketer himself dropped a hint of not being satisfied with BCCI's decision of dropping him as he took on his official Instagram and uploaded a story saying, "Don't trust their words, trust their actions, because actions will prove why words are meaningless."
