Ever since the BCCI selected the squad for India vs West Indies 2019, a few names have been trending on social media as the Internet user and fans are quite upset about Shubman Gill not being a part of the team. The netizens are also upset with the decision of Kedar Jadhav boarding the bus for West Indies. The netizens posted nasty tweets and said Gill was much more deserving. MSK Prasad during the meeting also elaborated on the selection of Jadhav for the tour of West Indies. India Squad For West Indies Tour 2019 Announced: Virat Kohli To Captain Side; MS Dhoni, Hardik Pandya Rested.
While speaking to the press, Jadhav said, “Jadhav has not done anything wrong to not get a place in the squad.” This statement baffled a few netizens and they slammed the chief selector for the same. The Chief Selector announced the team for all the three formats a while ago in the press conference. Since then Kedar Jadav’s name has been trending on social media.

Raising questions on the roadmap of the future.
Full strength squads picked for tour to West Indies. Ravindra Jadeja back in all 3 formats.Hardik Pandya rested. Would have loved to see Prithvi Shaw & Shubman Gill in T20 & ODI squads. Selecting Kedar Jadhav & Manish Pandey raises questions on the future roadmap. #INDvWI

Contradictions.
MSK Prasad: Kedar Jadhav has done nothing wrong to be not selected in squad.
20 days ago, Kedar Jadhav was so bad that we has replaced by Dinesh Karthik for last 3 World Cup matches. So, probably Team India is not yet looking at 2023 World Cup. #INDvWI

Talking about the team selection, MS Dhoni has made himself unavailable for the series. The Chief Selector did not comment on Dhoni’s retirement and said that it was his personal decision. He further said that the team management is grooming youngsters for the further and which is why Rishabh Pant has been included in the scheme of things. Hardik Pandya has been rested for the entire series. Whereas, pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been rested for the shorter format of the game and has been picked up for the Test matches. The Windies tour will begin from August 3rd, 2019 in Florida.
