On Friday, BCCI made it official that the entire selection committee was sacked. The board also invited applications to fill the vacant roles. With this, a few players could get a chance in the Indian Team soon. On that note, here, we take a look at how Twitter reacted as Prithvi Shaw could get a chance after the BCCI selection committee was sacked.
BCCI sacks the selection committee
The selection committee made a lot of debatable calls in recent years. One of the most criticised moves was stripping Virat Kohli of the ODI captaincy. Later, Virat stepped down from Test captaincy, too. This unsettled the Indian Team and the selectors used a lot of captains in 2022.
Apart from this, the selection calls also did not go down well with many. For instance, dropping Yuzvendra Chahal for the 2021 T20 World Cup and quickly fast-tracking IPL performers were a few things that met with a lot of criticism. Despite doing well, many players such as Prithvi Shaw did not get a chance in the Indian Team. It seems BCCI had taken note of all these. Hence, they took the bold call.
Twitter reacts to Prithvi Shaw’s increased chances now
Meanwhile, we might see the selection strategy change under the new panel. India’s approach, especially in the limited-overs, seems to be flawed. It is high time that it is changed. While the squad has to be built for the 2024 T20 World Cup, the bigger assignment is the 2023 ODI World Cup. The tournament will happen in India. The hosts will be under immense pressure to win the tournament. Meanwhile, the fans were happy that the likes of Prithvi Shaw could finally get a consistent run in the Indian Team. Other cricketers like Sanju Samson and Sarfaraz Khan might also get more chances. Here is how Twitter reacted to the same:
Prithvi Shaw’s prayers seem to be really powerful. First we lost the WC, then the match today without him gets abandoned now selectors are sacked.
