‘Why send him to India A if you doubt his game?’ – Former Indian cricketer on Sarfaraz Khan’s Test snub
The Times of India - SportsMonday, June 16, 2025 at 7:49:06 AM
Sarfaraz Khan, the talented young batter who was surprisingly left out of India’s Test squad, just made a strong statement with a blistering 76-ball century in a warm-up game against India A. This comes hot on the heels of his solid 92 against England Lions, proving he’s in red-hot form—especially in tricky English conditions. Former players are now questioning the selectors' logic: if they didn’t trust him for the main squad, why was he even playing for India A?
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about one player’s snub—it’s about transparency in team selection. Sarfaraz’s performances are screaming for attention, and his exclusion raises eyebrows about how decisions are made. Fans and ex-players are frustrated because it feels like form isn’t being rewarded, which could dent morale for up-and-coming cricketers. If selectors keep ignoring consistent performers, what’s the incentive for grinding it out in the domestic circuit?
