The politician sparked controversy by questioning the exclusion of Sarfaraz from the India A squad for the series against South Africa A in Bengaluru. She accused the selection panel, led by Ajit Agarkar, and head coach Gautam Gambhir of allegedly overlooking the middle-order batter due to his surname.
“It'll never happen. When the kid got selected, forget Sarfaraz —generally, when a player is selected, you don't talk about communities, regionalism, or other stuff. But why do all these things come out only when someone is dropped?" Prasad said.

MSK Prasad emphasized that only a player’s performance is taken into account. He also stated that if there are questions regarding a player’s omission, the selectors should provide a clear explanation.
According to reports, Sarfaraz’s exclusion was related to team balance. Ajit Agarkar had previously explained that Khan missed the home series against the West Indies because of a quadriceps injury and needed time to regain match fitness before being reconsidered for selection.
