The BCCI selection committee recently announced the Indian squad for the upcoming West Indies tour, which includes two Test matches. Sarfaraz Khan, despite his impressive domestic performances, was once again left out of the squad, much to the disappointment of fans and the player himself.
Sarfaraz has consistently showcased his batting prowess, amassing impressive runs in the past seasons. However, his stellar numbers have not translated into a place in the national team. This is not the first time Sarfaraz has faced exclusion, as he was previously overlooked for tours to Bangladesh, the Border-Gavaskar series, and the World Test Championship final.
In response to the snub, Sarfaraz shared a video of his highlights from the last Ranji Trophy season on Instagram, sending a strong message to the selectors. His omission has sparked discussions and raised questions about the criteria for selection in the Indian Test team.
Sarfaraz Khan, who has been in exceptional form in recent domestic seasons, finds himself on the sidelines despite his consistent run-scoring abilities. The young player has been a standout performer in the Ranji Trophy, amassing an impressive 982 runs in the 2021-22 season with an average of 122.75.
