When Virat Kohli withdrew from the initial two Test matches against England, expectations surged that it could mark Sarfaraz Khan’s long-awaited entry into the Indian Test squad. However, the selectors surprised many by favoring Rajat Patidar over Sarfaraz, leaving the latter disheartened but undeterred.

Despite this setback, Sarfaraz remained resolute, persistently accumulating runs and strengthening his case for national selection. In a mere 44 first-class appearances, Sarfaraz Khan has amassed a remarkable 3751 runs at an average exceeding 68. With 13 centuries and 11 fifties to his credit, his consistent performances underscore his reliability and ability to anchor innings.

As his run tally continues to swell in the ongoing India A versus England Lions encounter, the selectors face mounting pressure to acknowledge his undeniable contributions. In the ongoing clash between India A and England Lions, Sarfaraz Khan’s innings has been nothing short of exceptional.

Stepping in after Tilak Varma’s dismissal with the team at 174/2, Sarfaraz has relentlessly piled on the runs, presenting a strong case for himself as the next in line for a Test berth if India requires an additional batter. While Sarfaraz Khan’s century rightfully captures attention, India A’s dominance in the match is equally noteworthy.

Spearheaded by Akash Deep, the bowlers skittled out England Lions for a mere 152 runs in the first innings. Subsequently, Abhimanyu Easwaran and Devdutt Padikkal’s solid opening partnership set the stage for Sarfaraz’s aggressive innings, further solidifying India A’s command in the game.

As the cricketing world awaits the selectors’ verdict on Sarfaraz Khan’s future, his consistent displays on the field make a compelling case for his national team inclusion. Whether the selectors heed this call remains uncertain, but Sarfaraz’s bat continues to vociferously advocate for his cause.
