The
25-year-old
Sarfaraz,
who
represents
Mumbai,
has
been
a
prolific
run-getter
in
domestic
cricket
for
the
past
two
seasons,
amassing
1910
runs
in
12
matches
at
an
incredible
average
of
136.42.
On
Tuesday
(January
17),
he
scored
another
century
against
Delhi
in
a
Ranji
Trophy
Group
B
match,
making
it
the
batter’s
13th
first-class
ton
and
third
in
the
ongoing
edition
of
the
Ranji
Trophy.
The
latest
century
was
yet
another
reminder
to
the
national
selectors
that
he
has
the
class
to
be
a
part
of
the
India
Test
squad.
And
like
many,
Prasad
too
felt
Sarfaraz
deserved
a
chance.
Sarfaraz
Khan
responds
with
another
century
after
selectors
ignore
him
for
India
vs
Australia
series
“Not
having
him
(Sarfaraz)
in
the
Test
Team
despite
3
blockbuster
domestic
seasons
is
not
only
unfair
on
Sarfaraz
Khan,
but
it’s
an
abuse
to
domestic
cricket,
almost
as
if
this
platform
doesn’t
matter,”
tweeted
Prasad.
The
former
India
bowling
coach
also
took
a
jibe
at
some
India
cricketers,
saying
there
are
many
in
the
squad
who
weigh
more
than
Sarfaraz,
who
is
on
the
heavier
side.
“And
he
is
FIT
to
score
those
runs.
As
far
as
body
weight
goes,
there
are
many
with
more
kgs,”
added
Prasad.

Another
former
India
and
Karnataka
pacer
Dodda
Ganesh
too
felt
not
picking
Sarfaraz
for
the
Test
squad
is
a
mistake.
“Sarfaraz
Khan
reminding
all
of
us
yet
again
that
it
was
a
mistake
not
to
pick
him
for
the
test
side,”
tweeted
Ganesh.

After
scoring
the
century
on
Tuesday
(January
17),
Sarfaraz
made
a
strong
gesture
by
taking
off
his
helmet,
doing
the
thigh-five
celebration,
and
gesturing
towards
his
teammates
on
the
boundary
line.
India
and
Australia
will
play
four
Tests
for
the
Border-Gavaskar
trophy,
beginning
February
9
at
Nagpur.
The
selection
committee
has
already
announced
the
squad
for
the
first
two
Tests.
