"Please go play for Ireland" - Fans react as Prithvi Shaw fails to find a place in India's squads for Sri Lanka ODIs and T20Is

Opening batter Prithvi Shaw was once again ignored by the national selectors as he failed to find a place in the ODI and T20I squads for the forthcoming home series against Sri Lanka.The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the two squads on Tuesday, December 27. While many expected Shaw to be a part of the side for at least one series, he was unable to make the cut this time around as well.The right-handed batter has been consistently ignored by the selectors. His last appearance in international cricket came against Sri Lanka in July 2021. While he has performed well in domestic cricket, it seems as if he has fallen down the pecking order following the emergence of Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill.Several fans slammed the Indian team management for not giving Prithvi Shaw a chance to prove his worth. Here are some of the reactions on Twitter:CricketMAN2@ImTanujSinghFeel for Prithvi Shaw. He is not selected once again in Team India's any squads against Sri Lanka series.193166Feel for Prithvi Shaw.

In the Vijay Hazare Trophy, Shaw slammed two impressive half-centuries and finished with 217 runs from seven outings.Shaw mustered 332 runs in 10 matches in this year's Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, including a century and a fifty. He was the leading run-getter for his team in the T20 competition.Shubman Gill preferred over Prithvi Shaw in India's T20I squad for Sri Lanka seriesPrithvi Shaw could not make it to India's T20I squad as the team management went ahead with in-form opener Shubman Gill for the shortest format as well.Gill has been rewarded for his impressive performances in ODIs and Test matches. Apart from Shaw, several other notable names were absent from India's squad for the Sri Lanka series.Senior batter Virat Kohli is also not a part of the T20I squad, and it appears that he has been rested once again. Kohli and Rohit Sharma are both a part of the ODI team.
