WI vs IND 2022 | Fans protest over Arshdeep’s exclusion as Avesh Khan makes ODI debut
The second ODI between India and hosts West Indies took place at the Queen’s Park Oval. Avesh Khan made his ODI debut in the match as he shared the new-ball with senior pacer Mohammed Siraj.

Khan’s debut meant that Arshdeep Singh was yet again overlooked by the team management. The Punjab-based cricketer played just one match during India’s trip to England earlier this month where he impressed one-and-all with his tight bowling at the death.
The lanky speedster also enjoyed a profitable IPL 2022 campaign for the Punjab Kings, maintaining an economy of 7.70 despite bowling the most difficult overs of the innings throughout the tournament.
Much to everyone’s surprise, Singh was omitted from the starting XI of the side led by Shikhar Dhawan, his IPL teammate.
Arshdeep’s repeated exclusion from the playing XI prompted several fans to express their resentment on Twitter. Here is a look at some of the fan reactions after Team India announced their playing XI for the second ODI.
