Karun Nair claps back at Ajit Agarkar for all but ending his test career: 'Ask selectors what they are thinking'

Karun Nair expressed his disappointment and frustration after being omitted from India’s 15-member Test squad for the upcoming West Indies series, accusing selectors of effectively ending his Test career and urging them to “ask what they are thinking.” He recalled scoring a fifty in the final match in England—when others failed to contribute—and felt that this should have counted in his favour. Though he admitted he expected a recall, he said there was “nothing much” more he could do now and would return to performing in domestic cricket. Selectors, led by Ajit Agarkar, defended their decision by saying expectations were higher from Nair, pointing to his overall modest return of 205 runs in four Tests (only one fifty) and arguing that just one solid innings wasn’t enough to retain a place.
