After having voiced against the unfair treatment of himself by the Indian selectors, Ajinkya Rahane has further backed Mumbai teammate Sarfaraz Khan, whose non-selection for India A has become a communal as well as political issue in the country recently.
Sarfaraz Khan's snub from the India A squad for the upcoming series against South Africa A has taken an unexpected turn as the Indian politicians have grabbed this opportunity to bring in religious sentiments into the game of cricket. Though Sarfaraz has kept himself away from such communal remarks.
Khan was expected to make his comeback with the West Indies series however, the selectors ignored him. He was further ignored for India A as well, as they mentioned his long absence from the game calls for a good domestic run before an India comeback.
