Bengal batsmen Manoj Tiwary took to twitter to take a dig at the selection committee for omitting him from the Duleep Trophy squad which is slated to take place in 10 days time.
The squads for the Duleep Trophy which features India Blue, India Green and India Red was announced today and immediately after the squads were revealed, Bengal batsmen Manoj Tiwary took to twitter to blast the selectors for omitting his name.
Tiwary’s initial tweet saw him post a question to the selectors asking them the criteria for making it into the squad. His rant did not stop there as Tiwary went on to humiliate the selectors by stating some concrete facts.
Since d Duleep trophy teams 4 d year 2018-2019 is out and I don’t see my name featuring in any of them. I want 2 ask d Selectors, Wat is d criteria 4 a player like me 2 get selected again in Duleep trophy teams or Indian team ? If u guys can be kind enough 2 let me know

Tiwary went on to say that despite scoring an abundance of runs in Vijay Hazare Trophy and Deodhar Trophy his name was overlooked and he wasn’t provided with the rightful justification for the same.
Is not there for me from last year and half. Last year I’m d only one in d history of Indian cricket 2 make a record in 50 overs tournaments at number 4 batting position. Scored at an average of 100 in both Vijay Hazare nd also in Deodhar trophy. I demand a clarity 👍

Not stopping there, Tiwary also went on to take a sly dig at the selectors for choosing players from the newly included teams like Sikkim, Arunachal and Nagaland.
Score tons of runs nd den get picked. Scored a double hundred against MP and a hundred against punjab nd both the teams had quality bowlers. I don’t want to put up my stats but I wud request u all to just go and hav a look plz. Clarity is something which players looks for which

It is to be noted that Tiwary’s last ODI for India dates back to 2015. Also he did not feature in this year’s IPL after being omitted in the auctions.
