India pacer Umesh Yadav expressed his feeling in a cryptic manner after being snubbed of India's squad for the upcoming Test matches against England. Umesh took to his official Instagram account and posted, "Kitaabon par dhool jamne se, kahaaniyan khatm nahi hoti. (Just because books are covered with dust, the stories don't end.)

This message was interpreted as a reflexion of Yadav's disappointment at not being selected despite his recent impressive performances. Check out the story shared on X by fans:

Despite showcasing his skills in the Ranji Trophy, where he claimed 18 wickets in three matches for Vidarbha, Yadav failed to find a place in the squad announced by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Saturday.

In an interesting move, a maiden call-up was given to Bengal pacer Akash Deep, while Jasprit Bumrah, Mukesh Kumar, and Mohammed Siraj retained their spots in the squad. Yadav, has been missing from the Test team post his last appearance in the ICC World Test Championship final in 2023, where India lost to Australia.

Umesh Yadav, with a track record of 101 wickets in 32 home Tests and 170 wickets in 57 Test matches overall, has been a valuable asset to India, especially on home soil. Known for his ability to generate pace on spin-friendly tracks, Yadav's exclusion has certainly been the talk around cricket fans, given his recent domestic performances.

Yadav's social media post, particularly an Instagram story, suggests a sense of ongoing ambition and a belief that his cricketing journey is far from over.
