Former national selector Saba Karim's comments on India opener Shubman Gill's shin injury hasn't gone down well with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Gill injured his shin and has been ruled out for eight weeks. The batsman is unlikely to be a part of the first half of the five-Test series against England.

During a session on the podcast 'Khelneeti', Karim said he was surprised that Gill's injury escaped the eyes of the medical team and even said questions would be raised on how the opener passed the fitness test with the injury. And a senior BCCI official has said that such a comment is unfortunate and should have been avoided since president Sourav Ganguly is very clear that every protocol is followed and fitness assessment of contracted cricketers is done without fail.
