Shashi Tharoor, a Lok Sabha MP and ardent cricket enthusiast, has taken aim at the BCCI’s selection committee for the teams chosen for the forthcoming tour to Sri Lanka. Tharoor was drawn in by the team the board chose because of a few unexpected omissions. He spoke out against Abhishek Sharma’s exclusion from T20Is and Sanju Samson’s exclusion from ODIs. Abhishek, who had finished a thrilling five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe with a century of his own, was left off the tour roster, but Samson was selected for the shortest format series against Sri Lanka.”Exciting lineup choice for India’s later-this-month tour of Sri Lanka.” In contrast to @IamAbhiSharma4, who scored a century in the T20I series between India and Pakistan, no selections have been made for the ODIs despite @IamSanjuSamson hitting a century in his most recent ODI. In India, selectors have rarely given such little weight to a player’s color. Well done, team. Best of luck,” commented Tharoor.
