•A compound droplet under oscillatory shear is studied using a three-phase LBM.•We demonstrate the simple shear is a limiting case of the oscillatory shear.•Inner droplet can counterintuitively rotate in a direction opposite to the outer one.•Inner droplet exhibits multipeaked oscillations at high c...
