Former India captain Dilip Vengsarkar has criticised selectors Ajit Agarkar and Gautam Gambhir for overlooking Sarfaraz Khan across all three formats. Sarfaraz had to battle for his position season after season, ultimately earning his first Test call-up against England in 2023. However, following the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where he did not play a single match, he was removed from the squad. Sarfaraz has participated in six Tests for India, accumulating 371 runs at an average of 37.10, which includes one century and three half-centuries. They batted beautifully and forged together an important partnership, which ultimately helped India win the Test match," Vengsarkar told the Times of India.
