Sunil Gavaskar criticized the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee after India’s 1-3 Border-Gavaskar Trophy loss, questioning Virat Kohli’s automatic Test selection. Kohli scored just 190 runs in nine innings, averaging 23.75. Gavaskar urged Kohli to play Ranji Trophy, citing it as crucial for regaining confidence and form. "If no one can drop him, why have a selection committee?" Gavaskar asked, adding that Kohli’s inclusion for the England tour must be debated. India's coach Gautam Gambhir also emphasized domestic cricket's importance. Kohli’s declining Test performance, with only three centuries in his last 39 matches, has raised serious concerns.
