Sarfaraz Khan is one of the most reliable players in first-class cricket, but he has never been picked for the national team. He was left out of India’s Test team for their upcoming two-match away series against the West Indies, which will start in the middle of July. Many cricket fans and experts criticised the managers for leaving out the young player, citing how well he played in domestic cricket.
A BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) official recently said that health and discipline problems are the reason why he keeps getting left off the national team. But people who were involved in Mumbai cricket said that those claims were not true.
Last year, after scoring a very important century in a Ranji Trophy game against Delhi, Sarfaraz Khan pointed towards the dressing room.
This was seen as a jab at one of the Team India judges who was watching the game. It was said that his celebration was for his friends and coach, Amol Mujumdar. The story also said that the batter made the team less stressed, which is why they were so happy.
Sarfaraz Khan celebration at a Ranji match in Delhi was for his friends and coach Amol Mujumdar, who had taken off his hat. Salil Ankola, not Chetan Sharma, was the candidate who was there. “Sarfaraz got the team out of a tough spot, and the celebration was one of relief,” an NDTV report said a Mumbai cricket source said.
The story also asked if it is wrong to be happy for someone when they are pointing towards their own dressing room.
“Is it even wrong to be proud of yourself when you’re celebrating, especially when you’re pointing towards your own locker room?” asked the source.
Chandrakant Pandit, the coach of Madhya Pradesh, was also upset with Sarfaraz Khan behaviour after an incident, but a source said that Pandit has always been friends with him. He went on to say that Pandit treats the young boy like a son and would never get mad at him.
“He is treated like a son by Chandu sir. He has always spoken well of him, and he has known him since he was 14 years old. The person said, “He would never be mad at Sarfaraz.”
