Cricket fans on X are absolutely furious and deeply divided over the BCCI's official squad selection for the July 2026 ODI series in England. While some are happy about big names returning, the overall tone on Cricket. X has turned into an angry debate about unfair selections and the end of an era. The biggest storm on X is the complete fury over Yashasvi Jaiswal being dropped from the 15-member list.
Fans are calling the decision "unjust" and "clueless". Just one day prior, Jaiswal smashed a brilliant century against Afghanistan. Another major talking point is the absence of veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, leading fans to declare that his white-ball career is officially over. With Axar Patel firmly taking the lead spin-all-rounder spot, X is flooded with posts saying the selectors have quietly moved on from Jadeja in 50-over cricket.
Some fans are posting emotional tribute messages, thanking "Sir Jadeja" for his years of service in limited-overs formats.Others agree with the harsh move. They argue that India needs to build a younger, faster team for upcoming ICC tournaments. The biggest wave of reactions celebrates the return of Virat Kohli to the ODI setup.
Fans are thrilled to see him declared fit after a hamstring injury kept him out of the previous series. Many fans are posting "King Kohli is back" with goat emojis, expecting him to dominate English conditions. Some remain cautious, hoping he clears his final fitness benchmarks smoothly before the first match.
Jasprit Bumrah back for ODIs in England, Mohammad Siraj dropped from squad
Jasprit Bumrah is India’s premier fast bowler and one of the best cricketers in the world. He is famous for his unique, short run-up and lethal bowling style. Bumrah can bowl yorkers at over 145 kilometres per hour, making him very hard to hit.He is vital for India across all formats, including Test matches, ODIs, and T20s.
Captains rely on him to bowl during the high-pressure final overs of a game. After being rested to manage his fitness, his return to the ODI squad for the 2026 England tour is a massive boost for the team. Bumrah will lead the young pace attack in challenging English conditions.
Mohammed Siraj was surprisingly dropped from India’s 15-member ODI squad for the upcoming July 2026 series in England. The decision shocked cricket followers because Siraj has been a frontline bowler for India across all three formats.The selectors opted for a major change in the pace department.
While premier bowler Jasprit Bumrah returned to lead the attack, Siraj was left out to make room for younger players like Harshit Rana and Gurnoor Brar. This omission raises questions about Siraj’s current standing in India's 50-over plans. Missing a crucial away tour in English conditions, where his swing bowling usually thrives, is a significant setback for the experienced speedster.
