Twitter Reactions – Indian Team Selection for the Zimbabwe Tour: After a dreadful series against Bangladesh in Bangladesh, BCCI has announced the squad for the tour to Zimbabwe on July. A number of the senior pros of the team has been rested for the tour and Ajinkya Rahane will be leading the side on the tour. India will be playing a total of 3 ODIs and 2T20Is in the tour. 8 changes have been made in the squad to the squad selected for the Bangladesh tour. Players in the likes of Dhoni, Kohli and a few other seniors have been rested for the same, owing to the hectic cricketing seasons to follow. Twitter has reacted to the Squad selection and here are some of the tweets for the same.
