The BCCI selectors had come under significant criticism for not selecting Sarfaraz Khan for India’s recent two-Test series in the West Indies. “Sarfaraz Khan has been scoring at an average of 100 in all past three seasons. What does he have to do to be picked in the squad? He might not be in the XI, but you pick him in the team. Tell him that his performances are being recognized. Otherwise, stop playing Ranji Trophy. Say, it’s of no use, you just play IPL and think you are good enough for the red ball game as well,” former India opener Sunil Gavaskar had said.
