The BCCI included KL Rahul in the Indian Test squad which has been announced for the Australia tour starting next month. Suryakumar Yadav was not included in any of the Indian Squads for the tour starting next month. Various cricket experts and teammates have kept their opinion of Yadav’s snub from the Indian squad.
The latest to join the bandwagon was the head coach of the Indian cricket team Ravi Shastri. He took to microblogging site Twitter and expressed his feelings for the much-deserved cricketer.
