Playing the waiting game: Lessons for Sarfaraz Khan, Abhimanyu Easwaran after no game time in Border-Gavaskar Trophy

The Hindu  

Sarfaraz Khan and Abhimanyu Easwaran travelled with the Indian team across Australia over the last couple of months; trained with their colleagues regularly, but returned home without featuring in a single game in the just-concluded five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which India conceded 3-1. “It always gets challenging for a newcomer to make his way into the team because it takes time to earn the trust of the captain and the team management, so for me also, it was about gaining that confidence and trying to understand the set-up well during the training sessions…” But Ojha and Pankaj agree that unlike back in their day, emphasis is laid on the reserves staying in shape. While former India wicketkeeper-batter and erstwhile national selector Saba Karim agrees that things are better now in terms of management, he believes it was ‘unfair’ on Abhimanyu and Sarfaraz to warm the bench throughout the Australia tour, despite having proven their mettle at the First-Class level. So, keeping that in mind, I don’t understand this decision…” Getting left on the bench for an entire series may feel like being lonely on a planet, but Pankaj’s advice of not giving up hope can hold a player in good stead, who says,” kab mauka mil jaaye…’”
