New Delhi:
Sarfaraz Khan, who has been on fire with the bat for the last two seasons in domestic cricket, started the intra-practice match (practice between Indian players) ahead of the first Test (South Africa vs India 1st Test) against South Africa starting on Tuesday. By scoring a scintillating century off just 63 balls in the match, he showed how frustrated he was by his repeated omissions. At the same time, there was tremendous anger within Sarfaraz (Sarfaraz Khan’s thunderous century) over the fact that no franchise had bid on him in the recently concluded IPL Auction 2024. And Sarfaraz remained unsold. It was for this reason that all his anger got out in the practice match and this batsman slammed the door of Team India by scoring a century in 63 balls.

As soon as he scored a century, the management convinced him.
Now that India A is also playing a four-day match against the hosts on the same day as the Boxing Test, the management has already included Sarfraz in the squad and told him that he will not play in the first Test. . At the same time, the management does not want to give Sarfraz a chance in a strong team like South Africa and a tough series. This is the reason why the Indian management has decided to give Sarfraz a chance after this tour in the five-Test series against the visiting England team. And if sources are to be believed, he has also been informed about this.
