After snub from the West Indies series, the DC batter is eyeing to score more runs in the upcoming Ranji season and aiming to break into the Indian team. For the last three years, the 25-year-old has been scoring heavily for Mumbai in Ranji Trophy. But despite those big numbers, Sarfaraz has been overlooked owing to fitness and disciplinary issues. When was quizzed by one of the BCCI officials about the DC batter’s omission, he said,
“Are the selectors fools to not consider a player who has scored 900 plus runs in successive seasons? One of the reasons is his fitness which isn’t exactly of international standard. He has to work hard, maybe shed weight and comeback leaner and fitter as it’s not just batting fitness that is the sole criteria for selection,” a BCCI source told PTI.
The BCCI official further stated that it will be difficult for Sarfaraz to come into the team as the likes of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rahane, and Jaiswal have edged him. “Just think about it. Why was Sarfaraz not even among the reserves for the World Test Championship? Suryakumar Yadav and Yashasvi Jaiswal were the two reserves after Ruturaj pulled out due to his marriage,” the official said.
