Congress representative Shama Mohamed raised concerns about India coach Gautam Gambhir for not including Sarfaraz Khan in the latest national team matches, even though he has been performing well in local tournaments.

What is the controversy?

The selectors’ choice to leave out Sarfaraz Khan from the India A team on Tuesday sparked fresh discussion about the supposed unfair handling of one of the most reliable players in local cricket. Many are now wondering if the high-scoring Mumbai batsman is even being looked at for the backup team.

Mohamed posted on X and asked if Sarfaraz was being left out because of his last name. The Congress leader spoke out after Sarfaraz Khan was not chosen for the India A team that will play against a touring South African side in Bengaluru during October and November.

“Is Sarfaraz Khan not selected because of his surname ! #justasking . We know where Gautam Gambhir stands on that matter,” said Mohamed on X, referring to Gambhir’s stint in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

What surprised the fans?

Sarfaraz Khan was not picked for the England tour, even after improving his fitness, and was also ignored for the home matches against the West Indies. Supporters were surprised when the Mumbai player wasn’t included in the India A squad for the games against South Africa A.
