Cricket Buzz: Social media trends on June 24

Team India announced their Test and ODI squads for the upcoming West Indies tour on Friday, creating quite a stir in the media. While Cheteshwar Pujara's omission was one of the major talking points, several former Indian cricketers questioned the selection process due to the absence of standout performers from the domestic circuit. 

Meanwhile, Suresh Raina's former Chennai Super Kings teammates, Faf du Plessis and Shane Watson congratulated the Indian star on his new culinary venture. Coming to the action in the Women's Ashes, a couple of Indian cricketers were left in awe of Nat Sciver-Brunt's brisk innings for England in the ongoing Test.

Not surprised when young kids who come and speak to me only want to play the IPL. Seems thats the way to play for India. Why bother turning up for your state team and go thru the gruelling 5 month season.

Unable to understand these selections- too many thoughts in my head to compile into a tweet. But what is the incentive for a young player to take pride in playing for his state anymore? Clearly the franchise route is a faster way to scale the grade. #INDvsWI
