Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Mohamed wrote:

“Is Sarfaraz Khan not selected because of his surname! #justasking. We know where Gautam Gambhir stands on that matter.”

The comment came after Sarfaraz Khan was left out of the India A squad for the upcoming series against South Africa A in Bengaluru.
