    BJP Rajya Sabha MP Dinesh: A political storm broke out on Wednesday after Congress national spokesperson Shama Mohamed accused Indian cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir of religious bias following the omission of Sarfaraz Khan from the India 'A' squad for the upcoming series against South Africa 'A'.

    In a post on X, Shama wrote, "Is Sarfaraz Khan not selected because of his surname! Just asking. We know where Gautam Gambhir stands on that matter," triggering a fierce political and social media backlash.

    The controversy erupted after the BCCI selection committee announced the 15-member India 'A' team for two first-class matches against South Africa 'A'.
