BCCI selector Sridharan Sharath explains why Sarfaraz Khan was not picked for Test series vs Australia

India Today  

BCCI selector Sridharan Sharath opened up on Sarfaraz Khan's repeated snubs, saying that the Mumbai batter remains on the radar for selection and that the Test squad for the Australia series was based on the team composition. Sarfaraz has been scoring truckloads of runs for his state team, Mumbai, in Ranji Trophy matches for the past two seasons, but he has yet to make the Indian Test squad. He was expected to play in last month's two-match Test series against Bangladesh but was not chosen, and he was also left out of the 17-man squad announced for the first two Tests against Australia. Sarfaraz Ahmed's omission from the Test team against Australia sparked outrage, with many former greats and fans criticizing the BCCI's selection committee for ignoring the batter.
