Delhi: Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh has expressed surprise for Sarfaraz Khan not getting a place in Team India for the England Test series. He says that Sarfaraz has done well continuously, despite this, it is unfortunate to not be selected.
Advice to take inspiration from Karun Nair
Harbhajan said that Sarfaraz should not lose courage and struggle like Karun Nair and move forward. He reminded that Karun had scored a triple century against England, but he did not get much opportunities. Despite this, he continued hard work in domestic cricket and is now part of the team on the tour of England again.
No selection despite good performance
Sarfaraz Khan recently played a brilliant innings of 92 runs in the first informal Test against England Lions. Apart from this, he also scored 101 runs in 76 balls in India’s practice match, including 15 fours and 2 sixes.
Work on fitness too
Sarfaraz paid a lot of attention to his fitness to prepare himself for the England tour. He lost 10 kg by adopting a strict diet plan.
Despite this, the place was not found
Despite this, Sarfaraz, who did not play a single match on Australia tour, was also ignored this time. In his place, the selectors have given a chance to players like Abhimanyu Ishwar and Sai Sudarshan, who have not been able to make a Test debut yet.
Test career so far
Sarfaraz Khan has played 6 Test matches for India so far, in which he has scored 371 runs at an average of 37.10. It also includes a memorable innings of 150 runs played against New Zealand in Bengaluru.
Hope of Harbhajan
Harbhajan Singh hopes that Sarfaraz will return soon. He said, “If not today, tomorrow, you will definitely get your right. You are insisted on returning and you will definitely return to strong.”
