BCCI on Tuesday announced the India-A team for two matches against South Africa. Rishabh Pant was given the captaincy of this team. Some senior and many junior players were selected in this team. However, Sarfaraz Khan, who scored a lot of runs in domestic cricket, did not get a place. Everyone is surprised by Sarfaraz’s non-selection in the India-A team. From former cricketers to fans are asking questions to BCCI and selectors. Now the name of veteran politician Asaduddin Owaisi has also been added to this list. He questioned Sarfaraz’s non-selection, which has created an uproar.
AIMIM President and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi asked the question through a post on Twitter. He wrote, “Why was Sarfaraz Khan not even selected for India A?” Fans are continuously commenting on this post of Owaisi. Some people are bringing out the Muslim angle in this. He says that Sarfaraz was not selected because he was a Muslim. At the same time, many people are saying that Sarfaraz Khan had leaked the news of the dressing room in Australia, due to which he is not being selected in the team.
Now fitness is not a threat for Sarfaraz…
Earlier it was said that Sarfaraz Khan was unfit. Questions were also raised many times regarding his weight. But now he has become quite fit. Sarfaraz has lost about 17 kg weight. He is also not struggling with bad form. From this it is clear that fitness and form are no longer a threat for Sarfaraz.

Was declared unfit in West Indies series
For your information, let us tell you that Sarfaraz Khan is a part of the Central Contract List of BCCI. In such a situation, his not being selected in the India A team also raises questions. Last month, when the team for the two-match Test against West Indies was selected, Sarfaraz’s name was not in it. When the chief of selectors was questioned on this, he said that Sarfaraz is not fit. However, now he is completely fit. Still he has not been selected, and that too in the India-A team.
Sarfaraz has played 6 test matches for India
Sarfaraz has played 6 test matches for India so far. During this period, he has scored 371 runs in 11 innings at an average of 37.1. Sarfaraz has scored 3 half-centuries and one century in Tests. His highest score is 150 runs. Sarfaraz made his Test debut against England in 2024 and played his last Test in 2024 itself. He was part of the team on the Australia tour, but remained sitting on the bench in all five Tests. After this, he was not selected in the England tour and the two-match Test series at home against West Indies.
