Congress spokesperson Shama Mohamed has questioned India coach Gautam Gambhir over the non-selection of Sarfaraz Khan. Despite strong performances in domestic cricket and a Test century against New Zealand, Sarfaraz was left out of India’s recent tours to Australia and England, as well as the India A team against South Africa A. Mohamed hinted the omission might be due to Sarfaraz’s surname. AIMIM leaders also raised concerns over his exclusion. Selection committee chairman Ajit Agarkar cited injuries and team balance for some decisions, but critics say Sarfaraz’s consistent form deserved more opportunities. The debate has sparked discussion on fairness in cricket selection. (PC: India Today)
