For the five -Test series against England, the Indian team is sweating fiercely on the field. Team India, led by Shubman Gill, is ready to create history on English earth. Team India has not been able to win a series in England since 2007, but this time the team will field with the intention of doing something big. During this, a controversy has arisen over fast bowler Harshit Rana stopping with the team. The former Indian cricketer has questioned this decision of team management. He has asked Anshul Kamboj to stay with the team in place of Rana.
Anshul Kamboj was better option
Former Indian cricketer Doda Ganesh has questioned Harshit Rana’s stay in England with the team. He said that young fast bowler Anshul Kamboj should have been included in the team. This passion towards Harshit Rana does not understand.
Anshul Kamboj Should have been added to the squad. Dont undress this obsession with harshit rana #ENGVIND

Anshul Kamboj recently performed brilliantly in IPL 2025. Apart from this, he took five wickets against England Lions. He was the highest wicket bowler from his team, while Harshit Rana got only one wicket, but despite this Rana is staying in England with the team while the rest of India-A players have returned from England. In such a situation, questions have arisen when Harshit Rana stayed in England.
Questions arising when Harshit stops
A fans wrote on social media X that this is the era of Gautam Gambhir. Harshit Rana has been asked to stay in England after doing anything, but Anshul Kamboj who performed very well has gone to India. What if this is not partiality and politics?

Another fans wrote on X that when asked about Shreyas Iyer being dropped from the Test team, Gautam Gambhir said that I am not a selector, but on the other hand Harshit Rana has been asked to remain in the team and Anshul Kamboj has been sent to India. I do not understand anything about Gautam.
When asked about the exclusion of shreyas iyer from test squad gautam gambhir said ‘I am not a selector’.
But on the other hand harshit rana has been told to stay and anshul kamboj has been sent to India.
Gautam is such a hypocrite person.pic.twitter.com/zgorth3m2z

Another fans wrote that Anshul Kamboj took 34 wickets in the Ranji Trophy this year and also performed well in India A and IPL. Nevertheless, Gambhir did not keep Kamboj as a backup bowler for India on England tour but kept Rana. This shows how biased Gautam Gambhir is, he is constantly showing bias.
Anshul Kamboj Took 34 Wickets in the Ranji Trophy this year and also performmed well in India a and ipl.
Still Gambhir did not keep a kamboj as backup bowler for India on England tour but kept h rana.
This shows how biased gg is, he is constantly showing bias.#INDVENG #ENGVIND https://t.co/uoylyhfkwq
