Test Team: The omission of batsman Sarfaraz Khan from India’s lineup for the forthcoming West Indies Test series has sparked intense debate around the cricket world. Former India captain Sourav Ganguly has now backed Sarfaraz, stating that the 25-year-old batsman should be rewarded for his domestic heroics with a Test call-up.
Despite his tremendous domestic record in recent years, the Mumbai batter has been regularly ignored by selection. Meanwhile, other young players like Ruturaj Gaikwad and Yashasvi Jaiswal were called up for the first time, adding to the controversy surrounding Sarfaraz’s absence.
According to Ganguly, Jaiswal was picked because of his many runs in the Ranji Trophy, Irani Trophy, and Duleep Trophy. The 50-year-old backed Sarfaraz, arguing that given his run totals over the previous three years, he should be given a chance to play for the national squad.

“I believe Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a lot of runs in the Ranji Trophy, the Irani Trophy, and the Duleep Trophy.” That is, I suppose, why he is on the team. Sarfaraz Khan is on my mind. “For the number of runs he has scored in the last three years, he should get an opportunity at some point,” Ganguly was cited by Sportskeeda as saying.

Former BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) president Ganguly named Abhimanyu Easwaran as another example, expressing astonishment at his removal as well. He also remarked that in the future, Easwaran and Sarfaraz should be given a chance. Jaiswal, according to the 50-year-old, is a great choice for the next trip.
“And the same goes for Abhimanyu Easwaran, who has scored a tonne of runs in the last five to six years. I am shocked that both of them were overlooked, but they should be given another shot in the future. However, Yashasvi Jaiswal is a good choice,” he continued.
