MSK Prasad Denies Allegations of Bias in Team Selection, Says Religion or Surname Never a Factor
Former chairman of the national selection committee, MSK Prasad, was very vocal about his stance on players being selected based on their name, surname, or religion, and said that such a thing never happens during the selection process. This comes after a politician levied allegations on the Indian coach Gautam Gambhir and Ajit Agarkar-led selection panel, accusing them of the non-selection of Sarfaraz Khan owing to the cricketer’s surname.
Speaking exclusively to IANS, Prasad, who was India’s Chief National Selector from 2016 to 2020, said that the panel never shows any bias towards a player based on their religion or community background. He also stated that those who think so ‘don’t understand Indian cricket at all.’
