“Beyond cricketing reasons”: Wasim Jaffer questions selectors over Sarfaraz Khan’s India snub

Former international batsman Wasim Jaffer has voiced concerns regarding the continued omission of Sarfaraz Khan from the national Test squad, suggesting that decision-makers are bypassing the prolific run-scorer for reasons unrelated to his on-field statistics. Jaffer highlighted the player's impressive tally of domestic centuries as proof of his readiness.

Meanwhile, Sarfaraz recently bolstered his first-class credentials by compiling a substantial 154-run knock off 228 deliveries, featuring nineteen boundaries, during Mumbai's Ranji Trophy fixture against Himachal Pradesh. That strong performance propelled Mumbai to a commanding total of 528 for eight declared.

Building on that massive first-innings advantage, the bowling attack restricted the opposition twice to secure a comprehensive victory by an innings and ninety-seven runs. Mohit Avasthi anchored the bowling effort with a five-wicket haul in the second innings to help wrap up the contest.
