The national selection committee, headed by MSK Prasad, is facing criticism again. Last time the committee was slammed for World Cup selection and ignoring Ambati Rayudu when two players had to leave the tournament in between. Rayudu even announced his retirement in anger. Now a domestic cricketer Manoj Tiwary who is the Bangal team captain has slammed the board for not selecting him for Duleep Trophy.
The young talent took to twitter to slam the board and asked selectors to give clarity over the criteria. Tiwary tweeted, “Since d Duleep trophy teams 4 d year 2018-2019 is out and I don’t see my name featuring in any of them. I want 2 ask d Selectors, Wat is d criteria 4 a player like me 2 get selected again in Duleep trophy teams or Indian team? If u guys can be kind enough 2 let me know (sic).”

Tiwary was quite furious about the selection and made them remember his best game. He wrote, “I’m d only one in the history of Indian cricket to make a record in 50 overs tournaments at number 4 batting position. Scored at an average of 100 in both Vijay Hazare and also in Deodhar trophy.”
In Vijay Hazare one-day tournaments 2017-18, Tiwary scored average 109.33 and averagely 179 runs in Deodhar. He also scored unbeaten 201 in Ranji Trophy last season against Madhya Pradesh.
