Here's why Sarfaraz Khan was not picked for the first 2 test matches against Australia

Once the Indian squad for the first two Tests versus Australia was picked, Sarfaraz Khan’s exclusion stirred a massive controversy. Many experts and fans believed the Mumbai batter deserved a spot following his extraordinary performances in domestic cricket. However, now a selector has explained why Sarfaraz did not feature in the squad.

“He is certainly on our radar. In due course, he will get his due. While picking the team, we have to consider things like composition and balance,” Sharath told Sportstar.

India and Australia will be facing each other in a 4 match Test series starting from 9 February with the first Test being played in Nagpur. As the series will determine the WTC finalists, it will be extremely important for both teams.
