Sarfaraz Khan: Team India was announced on Friday for the Test series between India and West Indies (IND vs WI) starting on 12 July. The selectors once again dropped the dashing batsman, Sarfaraz Khan, after which there was a big uproar in the Indian cricket world. While the fans are expressing displeasure over the neglect of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and then former Team India captain Sunil Gavaskar has also targeted the selectors fiercely.
Because of this Sunil Gavaskar’s forehead was shocked
Let us tell you, the squad selected for India vs West Indies (IND vs WI) series includes experienced players as well as youngsters. These include players like Shubman Gill, Rituraj Gaikwad, and Yashasvi Jaiswal. But Sarfaraz Khan, who has been on fire with his bat in domestic cricket, has once again been ignored by the selectors. Sunil Gavaskar, who was the star opener of the Indian team, was shocked at this.

Now what will he have to do to get into the team? Even if he is not included in the playing XI, he deserves to be selected for the team. Selectors should talk to him and tell him that he is keeping an eye on his performance and it will benefit him in the future, or else Sarfaraz should stop playing Ranji.
Pujara made a scapegoat
Significantly, veteran batsman Cheteshwar Pujara has also not been included in the squad selected for this Test series, which is going to start between India and West Indies (IND vs WI).
