On the other hand, Sarfaraz Khan’s wait to make his Test debut has further increased after he did not find a spot in the squad for the IND vs ENG Tests. Rajat Patidar, on the other hand, was picked in the squad for the first two Tests.
On the South Africa tour with India A, Sarfaraz Khan scored 68 against South Africa A. Against England Lions, he hit 96 and 55. But it was Ranji Trophy where he scored tons of runs. He scored 982 runs in 2022 and 556 runs in just nine innings the next season. In fact, in 44 first-class matches, Sarfaraz Khan has averaged 68.20 including 13 centuries. However, it’s clearly not enough to impress the selectors.
