In the latest episode of Sledging Room, Rajarshi Gupta is joined by Akshay Ramesh and Saurabh Kumar as we discuss India’s selection calls for the Test and ODI series in West Indies in July. Were the selectors right in dropping Cheteshwar Pujara? Was it okay to bring back Ajinkya Rahane as the vice-captain in Tests?

The selection committee has been criticised for some of their decisions after the India Test squad for the West Indies tour was named a few days back. Agreed, it’s not easy being a cricket selector in India. Questions will always be asked. Players will always be disappointed.

But how do the selectors justify the repeated snubs to Sarfaraz Khan, one of the most prolific run-scorers in domestic cricket in recent years? It’s not just him, there are a few others who would have perhaps expected a call-up ahead of, say Ruturaj Gaikwad.
