From Twitter: Fans angry over Stuart Binny's inclusion in World Cup squad

Bengaluru, Jan 7 : When BCCI announced yesterday the much awaited Indian squad for ICC World Cup 2015, several eyebrows were raised at the inclusion of all-rounder Stuart Binny.

The selectors seem to have put their faith in Binny and his bowling abilities where conditions are favourable for pace and swing in Australia and New Zealand. However, his father Roger Binny, World Cup winner in 1983, part of the BCCI selection panel, many have questioned his spot in the side.

The selection panel, headed by Sandeep Patil, overlooked Yuvraj Singh for the World Cup, despite three consecutive centuries in the ongoing Ranji Trophy. (India's World Cup Squad)

While some expressed delight over Stuart's selection, he also became the butt of jokes - especially on twitter.

Immediately after the inclusion of Stuart in the 15-man squad, fans from all over India expressed their anger on the social networking platforms and Stuart Binny was still trending on twitter.

Stuart, who made his ODI debut last January in New Zealand, including his stunning figures of 6 for 4 in 4.4 overs against Bangladesh in June are the best figures by an Indian in ODI cricket.

Here are some of the reactions on twitter over Stuart Binny's inclusion.

Stuart Binny should have been tested better. I don't like the idea of he being on the squad for the world Cup.
