Earlier on Saturday, Omar urged the BCCI to give Rasool a chance to prove himself.
"Come on BCCI give the young man (Rasool) a chance to prove himself," he wrote on his twitter page.
"Did you really have to take him all the way to Zimbabwe to demoralise him? Wouldn't it have been cheaper to just do it at home?" he tweeted.
The Chief Minister, an avid cricket follower, had expressed disappointment that the Jammu and Kashmir cricketer has not been given a game even though India has taken an unassailable lead in five-match the ODI series. Read: Rasool left out

Rasool is the only member of the 15-member squad who has not seen any action so far. Ajinkya Rahane was warming the bench alongside Rasool but the opening batsman got his chance in Saturday's game.
Rasool shot to fame with a brilliant all-round performance in the Ranji Trophy last season by scoring 594 vruns and grabbing 33 wickets.
His selection to national squad was fast-tracked after he took seven wickets in one innings of a tour game against visiting Australians earlier this year.
