Sarfaraz khan india vs england: Before the five -match Test series against England, Sarfaraz Khan has given a strong message to the team management. He performed a tremendous performance in the first Test match starting on Friday (June 20) in Headingley. In the two-day warm-up game played between the main team and India ‘A’ team, he scored a century from just 76 balls. This has increased the tension of captain Shubman Gill and coach Gautam Gambhir.

Selection is not done in Test team

After this innings of Sarfaraz, adorned with 15 fours and two sixes, he was ‘retired out’ to give other batsmen a chance. This spectacular performance came after his 92 -run innings against England Lions in Cantorbury earlier this month. The 27 -year -old player was ignored in the Test team announced last month. He was sitting on the bench during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia last year.

Akash Chopra supported Sarfaraz

Former Indian opener Akash Chopra said that he feels that this Mumbai player has done nothing wrong to get out of the Test team. He has supported Sarfaraz Khan. Akash said on his YouTube channel, “Sarfaraz Khan has not done anything wrong so far. In fact, he has not done anything wrong so far. He scored more than 90 runs in a match he played. He could not score a century, but he scored. After that you did not feed them in the next match and they are not part of the Test team. ”

Akash lashed fiercely

Akash further said, “He has not yet failed in England, Australia and South Africa. But you have not given them a chance. This is not good. I can understand that if you do not trust their technique or playing style that they will not be able to score there, then you have to take a decision. Then do not send them with India ‘A’, because you already have a perception. ”

What Sarfaraz has done wrong: Akash

After scoring 150 runs in the second innings against New Zealand in Bangalore in October 2024, Sarfaraz played only three more red balls before the brake of nearly six months. He said, “If you think he can score runs and that is why he has been selected in India ‘A’ team, then feed him in India’s Test team as well.” What have they done wrong? He scored a century in Bangalore. Then he failed in two matches, but no one else scored runs in those matches. He did not play a single match in Australia. In fact, he was not even part of the conversation. One may think that something is going wrong with them. What have they done wrong? Probably nothing at all. But they are not getting a place in the playing XI. ”

Agarkar told the reason

Due to being out of Sarfaraz, the way for Karun Nair’s return was cleared. Karun returned to domestic cricket by performing brilliantly and received the support of the selection committee chairman Ajit Agarkar. Agarkar said last month, “Sometimes you just have to take good decisions. Sarfaraz I know that he scored 100 runs in the first Test (against New Zealand) and then did not score runs. Sometimes these team management decisions are made. Whether it is appropriate for someone or unfair to someone, they are options that you choose in the best interest of the team. ”
