Twitter Reactions after India announce squad for T20 World Cup

02/05/2016

The 15-member Indian squad for the upcoming Asia Cup and the T20 World Cup 2016 was announced today. Pawan Negi being included ahead of Manish Pandey was the biggest talking point, while few others pointed out an in-form Irfan Pathan also being ignored.

Here is a collection of the best tweets following India’s Team selection for the T20 World Cup and the Asia Cup.

MSD must needs find another death bowler this time.

Other teams participating in T20 world cup are happy after they got to know Legend Joginder Sharma is not in T20 Squad of India.

But then we got Pawan Negi, right?

Pawan Negi selected for T20 WC as a potential Joginder Sharma.

But then Manish Pandey was left out and surprisingly so.

No place for Manish Pandey in India's World T20 squad despite his brilliant march winning century in the recent Sydney ODI against Australia

Srinivasan planned this one perfectly.

Pawan Negi has been named in India's squad for Asia Cup and WT20.

It's a shame that we can't blame CSK for this.

He does make a valid point here.

What happens if Manish Pandey makes a huge statement in the Sri Lanka series? Now that he's out of the WT20 squad? Makes no sense.

Seems like Irfan was deeply hurt by his exclusion.

Irfan Pathan got arrested himself when he saw Pawan Negi selected for T 20 World Cup ahead of him 😂 pic.twitter.com/2IQfqyTk7w

There are only 15 players they can pick so very well put.

Kuch bhi kar lo indians royenge hee, kabhi yuvi ko leke kabhi bhajji toh kabhi Manish Pandey. he has his chances.

Harsha Bhogle with some reason about Manish Pandey’s exclusion.

Hard on Manish Pandey but can't have more than 4-5 players who only bat. He is the next cab off the rank given he is a brilliant fielder
