Twitterati Ridicules Indian Selectors After They Ignore Mayank Agarwal Once Again

Indian selectors have landed in hot waters after Indian fans found the name of Mayank Agarwal missing from the Test squad. Although almost all the batsmen found themselves in the run-getters in the Trent Bridge Test, fans were expecting many changes in the squad.

India announced its squad for last two Test before some days ago. In the team of final two Tests, India picked Prithvi Shaw and Hanuma Vihari while dropping KL Rahul and Murli Vijay.

Though India had a great outing in Trent Bridge Test fans were still expecting some tough calls. In the Trent Bridge Test, Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara both get their form back.

From the bowling perspective, Indian seamers managed to took 19 wickets out of 20. With these impressive figures, there was no chance of any alteration.

Things went worsened for Indian selectors as Mayank Agarwal once again slammed a ton. He scored a brilliant hundred against India A and helped his team India B to get the second straight win.

A brilliant ton from Mayank Agarwal

Soon after he scored a quickfire knock of 114 of just 124 deliveries, fans took social media to lash out at Indian selectors.

The 27-year old Agarwal did not get a nod against England whereas his other two teammates made it to the squad.

However, it may prove a blessing in disguise for the opening batsmen of Karnataka. With the hot form Indian players are having, many changes are not expected in the Indian squad.

Therefore, it is better for the opener to knock harder at the door of selectors than to warm bench in national teams.

“I am very happy with the progress and with the way I am batting.  I am in a great mindspace and I want to continue batting and scoring runs. Scoring 2000 runs in a domestic season is not a joke. I am very, very happy with the way I am batting,” he had recently said talking about his form.

Here are the some top tweets of the fans:

Happy for Hanuma Vihari..

I want to feel happy for Mayank Agarwal too..

I hope it will be soon!

Few months back Chief Selector MSK Prasad said Mayank Agarwal is under their radar for selection to the National Team. Seeing today's selection I think Mayank Agarwal will be kept under the radar until he retires from domestic cricket. Shame on you @BCCI

All said and done, Mayank Agarwal playing quadrangulars over warming the bench with the Test team in England may not be a bad thing after all. Puts him in the frame to force his way into the ODI team for Asia Cup.

Can't quarrel with Prithvi Shaw's inclusion in India's Test squad. Very exciting talent and deserves his shot. But in the meantime, Mayank Agarwal is not letting any opportunity go to remind the selectors he's still in contention too. Century today: https://t.co/0NM9dsi48y

#BCCI Pritvi Shaw and Hanuma Vihari get picked ahead of Mayank Agarwal who has not only scored 1000+ runs last Ranji season but also scored tons in India A Matches in England this year. Can somebody explain this?
