Sarfaraz Khan Voices Frustration Over India Test Team Omissions and Role Clarity
Sarfaraz Khan, a Mumbai middle-order batsman, has expressed frustration over repeated omissions from the Indian Test team despite consistent domestic performances and notable centuries in overseas intra-squad matches. Since his debut in February 2024, he has played only home Tests and was recently part of the Sri Lanka tour squad without playing. Motivated primarily by his father's support, Sarfaraz questions the lack of clear communication from selectors and the perception that he is suited mainly for Indian conditions, while maintaining his commitment to continue working hard.
