“Something Wrong Happening” With Sarfaraz Khan: Star’s Snub From India Team Gets Explosive Reaction
Sarfaraz Khan is rated among the best in domestic cricket. He even scored a solid 150 for India against New Zealand last year
Sarfaraz Khan was one of the notable omissions when the BCCI selectors announced Indian cricket squad for the England Tour. The 27-year-old Mumbai batter is rated among the best in domestic cricket. He even scored a solid 150 for India against New Zealand last year. After that series, he did not get a single game in the Border Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. Though not part of the main squad, Sarfaraz Khan was picked for the India A side that toured England and scored 92 in Canterbury. Former India opener Aakash Chopra said, Sarfaraz deserved more chances.
“Sarfaraz Khan hasn’t done anything wrong thus far. In fact, he hasn’t done anything wrong till now. The one match he played, he scored 90-plus runs. He couldn’t score a hundred, but he scored runs. After that, you didn’t play him in the next match, and he is not part of the Test team,” Chopra said on his YouTube channel.
“He hasn’t failed in England, Australia and South Africa thus far, but you haven’t given him a chance. It is not a good story. I can understand if you don’t have confidence in his technique or playing style, that he might not be able to score runs there, then you have to take a call. Then don’t send him with India A also. because you have a pre-conceived notion.
Chopra argued that it is justified for Sarfaraz to feel bad. “If you think he can make runs, and that’s why he has been picked for the India A squad, then play him in the India Test team too. What wrong has he done. He made a ton in Bengaluru. Then he failed in two matches, but no one else scored in those matches. He did not even play a single match in Australia, in fact he was not even part of the conversation. So, in such a scenario, one might think that something wrong is happening with him. What has he done wrong? Maybe, absolutely nothing. But he is not getting a place in the XI. in fact he is not in the scheme of things, which is a little sad, if your name is Sarfaraz Khan,” he said.
Earlier, Karun Nair, who was handed a Test call-up after seven years on the back of consistent performances in domestic cricket, was backed by BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar to come good in England after getting the nod ahead of Sarfaraz Khan.
