Vaughan didn't take any names in his dig at the selectors

Former England captain Michael Vaughan took to social media on Saturday, expressing his frustration over England's team selection for the opening two Tests against India. England openers Zak Crawley and Dom Sibley have had a torrid time with the bat in the ongoing Test series against Sri Lanka, but have kept their place in England's Test squad that will take on India in Chennai, while wicket-keeper Jonny Bairstow who has looked solid, batting at number three position, on Sri Lanka's spin-friendly pitches, has been left out from the 16-man squad for first two Tests against India.

While, Vaughan didn't take any names he took a dig at the selectors for leaving out the "only top three player" who has done well in the ongoing Test series against Sri Lanka

"The only player in England's Top 3 that's playing the sub-continent conditions with any control or calmness is resting for the first 2 Tests against the best Team in world at home #India !!! The world is officially mad... #SLvENG," Vaughan tweeted.
