Team India cricketer Sarfaraz Khan has posted a cryptic message on his instagram after getting snubbed for the England series. The cricketer shared a quote on his personal Instagram handle which said, "Life is too short to regret missed chance. Just say 'Jo Hoga Dekha Jayega' and pick that baall and bat again'. The selectors decided to drop Sarfaraz Khan for the upcoming England Tests, preferring the likes of Sai Sudharsan and Karun Nair instead.
Having made his India debut last year in a home series against England, Sarfaraz had done well for himself in whatever chance she got to play. He got half-centuries in both innings of the first Test, and then backed it up with a sensational 150 vs New Zealand at home, when other Indian batters miserably failed. Sarfaraz’s ton wasn’t enough as India were whitewashed 0-3 by New Zealand at home. He was also part of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy squad, but didn’t get a chance to play.
Sarfaraz Khan serves reminder during intra squad match
During the recent intra-squad match in Beckenham, Sarfaraz Khan silenced his doubters with a scintillating 76-ball century. Following a 92 against England Lions, he smashed an aggressive 101 off just 76 balls against the main Indian attack. His innings, featuring 15 fours and two sixes, came in front of BCCI chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar. Notably, Sarfaraz was later retired out.
Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh asked Sarfaraz Khan to take Inspiration from Karun Nair and keep working hard. He said, "It's very unfortunate... I was a bit shocked not seeing his name in the squad. I'm sure he will come back strong. He has got that will to make a comeback…All I can say is, don't be disheartened, you will get your due, if not today, then tomorrow…Look at Karun Nair.
He scored 300 runs against England and then never got too many opportunities. Now he is back in England with the team,".
