Gautam Gambhir attacks Bishan Singh Bedi, Chauhan over Saini selection

New Delhi, June 13 (IBNS): Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir on Tuesday took a dig at former cricketers and Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) members Bishan Singh Bedi and Chetan Chauhan after pacer Navdeep Saini was named in the Indian Test squad against Afghanistan.

"My ‘condolences’ to few DDCA members, @BishanBedi @ChetanChauhanCr on selection of ‘outsider’ Navdeep Saini to India squad. Am told black armbands are available in Bangalore too for INR 225 per roll!!! Sir, just remember Navdeep is an Indian first then comes his domicile @BCCI," Gambhir tweeted.

Gambhir made the remarks after Bedi and Chauhan opposed Saini's selection in the Delhi Ranji team as the bowler hails from Haryana, not Delhi.

The All-India Senior Selection Committee on Monday named Navdeep Saini as Mohammed Shami’s replacement in the Indian Test team for the upcoming Paytm Test against Afghanistan.

The announcement came after Mohd. Shami failed to clear the fitness test at NCA, Bengaluru, read a statement issued by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
