BCCI on Monday announced India’s squad for the upcoming tours of New Zealand in Bangladesh in November and December. While there were chances given to many youngsters like Yash Dayal and Kuldeep Sen, many others like Prithvi Shaw and Umesh Yadav missed out.
With players such as Prithvi Shaw and Sarfaraz Khan who have impressed in the domestic circuit for the past year or so, not getting an opportunity, it was obvious that the players must be disappointed.
Umesh Yadav, another Team India regular missed out on the squads, while Ravi Bishnoi and Nitish Rana also made their disappointments clear.

Bishnoi meanwhile wrote, “Come back is always stronger than setback.”
BCCI chief selector Chetan Sharma was even questioned about the pair of Shaw and Sarfaraz being excluded despite their consistent performances, but he insisted that their time will also come.
“Sarfaraz Khan is brilliant player but he don’t have a space now – he is a serious contender,” said Sharma.
“Prithvi Shaw will get the chances in the Indian team soon,” he added.
