Tiwary highlighted his records over the years in domestic formats and questioned why he isn”t considered. He was also perplexed even after scoring centuries against quality bowling attacks in domestic format, why he is still out of the team?

Manoj Tiwary shared his views on his official twitter handle. He said that he needs a proper explanation for this and took a dig whether switching teams in the near future might aid the inclusion.

The BCCI released the squads of India Red, Blue and Green for the Duleep Trophy yesterday. Several players who showed their class last year, have been given a chance. The 19-year-old sensation Shubman Gill has even been granted captaincy.

The tournament which marks the beginning of the Indian domestic season this year will commence on August 17. All the games will be played at Bengaluru.

The IPL Snub

This isn”t the first time Manoj Tiwary has expressed his disappointment over his rejection. Even in IPL 2019 auctions, he wasn”t picked by any franchise. He enjoyed a stellar season with Supergiants in 2017. Additionally, he played his part with Kings XI Punjab (2018) season. However, those weren”t enough to convince the eight franchises in 2019.

Reports even emerged that he was added as a part of the Delhi Daredevils side. Eventually, those rumors were thrashed by him.

All eyes on the BCCI officials on how will they respond to his exclusion and whether any explanations will be given.
