Former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly recently spoke up to show his support for the young batsman, Sarfaraz Khan, who has been continuously ignored from selection in the Test team despite scoring tons of runs in domestic cricket. Ganguly expressed his disappointment in the lack of consideration for Sarfaraz and Bengal captain Abhimanyu Easwaran, both of whom have been prolific run-scorers in domestic cricket.
Ganguly praised the selection of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was one of the top scorers in IPL 2023, and said that Sarfaraz and Abhimanyu should eventually get the chance to play for India. He said that the two players have earned it with the immense amount of runs they have scored in the last few years.
However, a BCCI official recently revealed that Sarfaraz is being ignored due to his fitness and disciplinary issues. It was said that his aggressive celebration after a Ranji Trophy hundred this year had irked the selectors, which is why he wasn't considered for national selection. Fans were quick to slam the BCCI for their decision.
Ganguly, however, dismissed any notion that Sarfaraz might not be a good player against fast bowling. He said that if Sarfaraz had any issues he wouldn't have scored so many runs all around. Ganguly concluded that Sarfaraz should be given an opportunity to prove his skills, as he personally believes that the batsman has no issues against fast bowling.
