BCCI has not ignored Rinku Singh but they have some plans for this star batsman.
Rinku Singh will debut on Ireland tour, not West Indies

Youth team will go on Ireland tour
A BCCI source told The Indian Express, “Rinku Singh and other players who have done well in the IPL will go to Ireland. The selection committee does not want to try everyone on the same series. There are seven such players in the ODI team who will not play T20. Our focus is on the Asia Cup which will be held at the end of August. The selection committee of BCCI wants more and more India A tours to be conducted. Young players will also be given a chance on these tours.
