Stuart Binny’s selection in Indian team for ICC World Cup 2015 ridiculed on social media

Jan 7, 2015

Stuart Binny, India‘s new right-arm fast bowler was surprisingly included in the final-15 member squad for the ICC World Cup 2015 scheduled to get underway in Australia and New Zealand  from February 14.

Binny has been quite brilliant with the ball of late this season in both domestic and international circuit. However, his form was questionable and was doubtful for making it to the final World Cup squad as he has not been able to pick regular wickets in the international level and was quite inconsistent.

However, the surprise came when on Tuesday, BCCI secretary, Sanjay Patel announced the 15-member squad and Binny was named in it. Since, then social media has been ridiculing Binny all over. Here are few of the tweets:

#StuartBinny selected and Roger Binny is selector, is it conflict of interest?

They took #StuartBinny so that Bhuvaneshwar Kumar can look like a Fast Bowler.

I’m glad #StuartBinny got into the #WorldCup2015 Squad. It is warranted that Mayanti Langer will cover the entire thing by herself. *drool*

#StuartBinny (who sometimes bowls faster dan Kumble) is a type of allrounder who bowls as a batsman n bats as a bowler! 😉 #WorldCup2015

I’m not talking about players skill here. But selecting #Stuartbinny sends out one clear message. BCCI don’t give any damn to mudgal report

Tharoor is shocked to know that Sunanda was murdered. And Roger Binny was shocked to know that #StuartBinny was selected.
