Twitterati reacts as BCCI names squad for the T20 World Cup 2022
As BCCI announced the squad for the T20 World Cup 2022, fans on Twitter had different reactions. While many expressed a thirst for happiness some were disappointed with Mohammad Shami and Sanju Samson not being selected.
Here’s how they reacted:
Does this team have the fire in them to win big tournaments? A young team like SL had the raw passion to beat all odds & take on the might of Ind & Pak but these guys were celebrating a century against Afghans for cryin' out loud. These are superstars who are past their prime.

The reason of selecting pant over Samson is Because we don't have chance to play against Ireland & Zimbabwe in t20 wc

Umran Malik , Sanju Samson Australia ke pitch me sabse jyda effective hote magar nahi khilaya inko , Australia me 145ki speed ka bowler chahiye na ki , 130 ka Bhuvi aur Harshal , Bhuvi, Harshal, Sky, DK ye log sabse bekar player hai ,DK always kamzor bowler against run karta hai

Amazing now suddenly mohd. Shami is your standby on basis of what? And pant was a well deserving I think he scored runs fluently and didn't put india under pressure everytime he played which I definitely missed?

Hooda is an asset a top / middle order batter plus bowler. Samson could have come in place of Pant or Karthik
Aswin is only off spinner. Bishnoi could have come in place if chahal
Now tell me who is better than whom in the alternativesAdvertisement— Bharatiya (@Gautam898583) September 12, 2022
