What did Sarfraz Ahmed say about the Under-19 Indian team?
During a media conference, Sarfraz Ahmed said, "I have played against the Indian team before, but the Indian team at that time respected the game. But sitting outside, I felt that this current team's attitude towards the game was not good, and their conduct in cricket was unethical. You must have seen on the screen what kind of gestures their players made. But we celebrated our victory with sportsmanship, because there should always be sportsmanship in cricket; what India did was their choice."
