Mumbai, Sept 30 (IBNS): Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh on Sunday expressed his anger after selectors did not include Asia Cup winning captain Rohit Sharma to the national squad for the upcoming Test series against West Indies.

Under Sharma's leadership, India defeated Bangladesh in the final to lift the Asia Cup for the seventh time in the history of the tournament on Friday.

Sharma captained the side in the absence of regular skipper Virat Kohli. He was rested for the Asia Cup.

Expressing his anger, Singh tweeted: "No @ImRo45 in test team against West Indies..what r the selectors thinking actually??? Anyone have a clue ??? plz let me know as I can’t digest this."

Virat Kohli will lead the Indian team in the series against West Indies.

Indian fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have been rested for the upcoming two-match Test series against Windies.

Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar have been rested considering their workload.

The series will begin from Oct 4.

Fast bowler Ishant Sharma and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were not considered for selection as they are yet to recover from injuries.

The first match will be played in Rajkot. Hyderabad will host the second and final game, which is scheduled to begin on Oct 12.

Indian team for the Windies Tests: Virat Kohli (captain), KL Rahul, Prithvi Shaw, Mayank Agarwal, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane (vice-captain), Hanuma Vihari, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur.
