Many observers are perplexed by Sarfaraz Khan’s absence from the Indian Test team. Sarfaraz Khan has been on a run-scoring frenzy, but his performances have gone unnoticed by the selectors. When the selection for the first two Tests against Australia was named, it was believed that Sarfaraz would be included, but the selectors selected Suryakumar Yadav over Sarfaraz.
Former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar slammed the All India Selection Committee, saying that if the selectors want skinny players, they can go to a fashion show and get models, and that if a player is physically fit, his shape and size should not concern the selectors.

“If you are looking for only slim and trim guys, then might as well go to a fashion show and find some other models and give a bat and ball in their hands and then improve them. That’s not the way cricket goes. You have cricketers in all shapes and sizes. Don’t go by the size, go by the scores or wickets. He is not staying off the field when he scores a hundred. He is back on the field again. So, all that tells you is that the man is fit,” Gavaskar told India Today.
