Without naming anyone directly, Prasad said that the selectors need to pick specialist players. He added that the selection should be made based on performances from Ranji Trophy and Duleep Trophy rather than IPL form.
"Yash Rathod, Shubham Sharma, Baba Indrajith , Smaran Ravichandran are names most wouldn’t have heard off as they don’t play IPL but consistently scoring runs in domestic cricket."

Can’t Function on Such Egos in the Interest of Indian Cricket - Venkatesh Prasad
Venkatesh Prasad said that players with modest first-class averages cannot be included in the Test side. Prasad expressed disappointment at a stubborn push to justify a flawed selection over the past eighteen months, calling it harmful to the interests of Indian cricket.
"Test Cricket needs specialists. We all love Indian cricket and it’s sad to see what’s happening over the last year and a half just to somehow prove this flawed strategy right. Can’t function on such egos in the interest of Indian cricket , Truly disappointing."

Former Indian opener WV Raman agreed with Venkatesh Prasad on team selections. Reacting to Prasad’s social media posts, Raman quipped that the former pacer had bowled a “long spell” but continued to hit the perfect areas, just as he did in his playing days.
