Indian selectors have announced the squad for the 20-20 world cup 2022. Along with the squad for World Cup, they have also announced the squads for the home T20I series against Australia and then South Africa. Although, Indian cricket is not happy with the selected squad for the T20 World Cup 2022.
They took to Twitter for expressing their unhappiness as selectors overlooked Mohammed Shami and Deepak Chahar while selecting the squad for the marquee tournament in Australia.
Here’s how fans reacted to the squad for T20 World Cup 2022:

What a horrible selection? We are doomed. These toddlers like Bhuvi and Harshal will end up in stands.
