Prithvi Shaw wasn't picked for the ODI series against South Africa on Sunday.
Young Indian team opener Prithvi Shaw expressed his frustration on social media after being yet again ignored by the selectors for the Indian team despite doing well in domestic cricket.
The BCCI national selectors included new faces like Rajat Patidar and Mukesh Kumar for the upcoming three-match ODI series against South Africa, starting on October 6, but ignored Shaw for the opener's position.
The Mumbai opener was in good form in the Duleep Trophy. He scored two centuries, one each against Central Zone and North East Zone. In the game against Central Zone, Prithvi Shaw was awarded the Player of the Match for his knock of 60 and 142 in the encounter.
None of the T20 World Cup 2022-bound main squad players have been included, including Mohammed Shami. Shikhar Dhawan has been named India captain for the upcoming home series, while Shreyas Iyer will be his deputy.
Meanwhile, following his omission, Shaw took to his Instagram handle to launch a scathing attack on the BCCI and the national selectors with a cryptic post.
In his Instagram story, the Mumbai batter said that words are meaningless until they turn into actions, as he was expressing his disappointment over his continued ignorance of national selection.
Shaw’s Instagram story read: “Don’t trust their words, trust their actions because actions will prove why words are meaningless.”
Here are some reactions:
