Karim feels that Sarfaraz and Easwaran have played a fair amount of domestic cricket and are ready to play Test cricket. Both these players were in India's squad for the Test series against Australia but didn't get a game.

“It is very disheartening because one is ready to face numerous challenges, but this is something which is beyond their control. That’s the way I look at it. I seriously believe that domestic cricketers need to be rewarded,” Karim said.
Saba Karim slams the selectors
Saba Karim further slammed the selectors for picking these players despite not considering them good enough to play. He called out the selectors for making a judgment without giving the proper opportunity to these players.
“If you were not sure about their technical expertise of doing well in Australia, then you should have jolly well taken somebody else. I feel very strongly that without trying them out in those conditions, how can we decide that they are not good enough for those conditions?” he asked.
"Harsh on Abhimanyu and Sarfaraz" - Saba Karim
Saba Karim called the selection decision quite harsh on Abhimanyu Easwaran and Sarfaraz Khan. He reminded the selectors of Sarfaraz's knock against New Zealand in Bengaluru in which he scored a magnificent hundred under pressure.
"And after that, he played two Test matches and both those matches were on rank turners. Forget about Sarfaraz, none of the other Indian batters scored runs. So, keeping that in mind, I don’t understand this decision,” he added.
Sarfaraz Khan has played six Tests and scored 371 runs at an average of 37.10. On the other hand, Abhimanyu Easwaran has scored 7674 runs in 101 matches at an average of 48.87 with 27 hundreds and 29 fifties.
