Sarfaraz Khan, the Mumbai batter, has expressed his frustration over being overlooked for the India A squad for the upcoming series against New Zealand. Despite his impressive performances in domestic cricket, including a 55 off 100 balls against Railways, he remains uncertain about his future with the national team. Sarfaraz, who last played for India in a Test against New Zealand in 2024, was also part of the squad for India's tour of Sri Lanka but did not get a game. He has heard from the team that they are considering him primarily for Indian conditions, despite his centuries in overseas matches for India A.
Sarfaraz has lost 20 kg, reducing his weight from 97 kg to 77 kg, to improve his fitness. He credits his father for his motivation, stating that his commitment to cricket remains unchanged. He continues to train early every morning, maintaining the routine established with his father more than a decade ago.
