India's selection committee chairman Krishnamachari Srikkanth lost his cool on Wednesday while interacting with media personnel about team selection for Asia Cup.
Srikkanth on Wednesday made it clear that opener Virender Sehwag and pace spearhead Zaheer Khan were not dropped and have been "rested purely on fitness ground".
When frequently asked by reporters about Sehwag’s selection, an irritated Srikkanth slammed the reporter by asking him to shut up.
Besides Sehwag and Zaheer, young pacer Umesh Yadav has also been left out of the team because of injury concern.
The national selectors have named Virat Kohli -- the highest run-scorer in the ongoing Commonwealth Bank tri-series -- as the vice-captain of the team and Srikkanth said the decision was taken keeping India's future in mind.
