Left-handed batter Shan Masood, despite being in the form of his life, was not part of the squads announced for the ODI series against the Netherlands and Asia Cup 2022.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) unveiled squads earlier today which had few changes. Pacer Hasan was replaced by Naseem Shah while Salman Ali Agha returned to the ODI squad.

However, fans were furious over Shan Masood's exclusion from both squads. He has been part of the Test side but didn't get the chance to feature in the series against Australia and Sri Lanka.

The left-hander was the third-highest run-scorer in the Pakistan Super League 2022 and is still among the top scorers in the ongoing County Championship and T20 Blast 2022.

Netizens were quick to express their displeasure after the announcement of the squad. Here are few reactions:


 

کہیں شان مسعود کو کوئی اپنے لیے خطرہ تو نہیں سمجھ رہا جس کی وجہ سے انھیں ٹیم سے باہر رکھا جا رہا ہے،یہ صرف شان نہیں بلکہ پاکستان کرکٹ کے ساتھ بھی زیادتی ہے

Shan Masood should announce his retirement from Pakistan, this treatment cannot be justified. How many years of his prime are we going to waste, counties are lining up for signature. Play around the world, Derby made him captain after 3 months… speaks volumes of his ability.

Injustice with Shan Masood. What else he needs to do to get selected?

Average of 57 in List A Cricket
Performing outstandingly well in all 3 formates of the game but selectors still prefer others over him. pic.twitter.com/C8b9b4p4Mi

What else Shan Masood needs to do to get selectors’ attention? He has consistently ticked all the boxes to get selected, but selectors consistently doing injustice to him. #InjusticetoShan

Who said Shan Masood will be given a chance in the Netherlands tour??? WRONG! Shan’s form doesn’t mean anything to selectors, especially Mohammad Waseem..!

What should Shan Masood do now?
Chief selectors should clarify him that he shouldn't play cricket anymore and start some kind of business.

The way he's being treated in every format is ridiculous.

Shame on You @MuhammadWasim77 .
