The BCCI announced an 18-player Indian squad for the series against England, starting on June 20 in Leeds. Following the recent Test retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, the selectors included Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, and Karun Nair, but Sarfaraz Khan was excluded from the squad.
After a long wait for his international debut, he performed well in home series against England and New Zealand in 2024. He played his last Test against New Zealand, where he scored just one run in two innings.
Sarfaraz Khan Has Scored a Lot of Runs Already - Ravichandran Ashwin
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Ravichandran Ashwin pointed out that Sarfaraz Khan has performed well and did nothing to deserve being dropped. Ravichandran Ashwin emphasized the need for clear communication from team management to Sarfaraz. He also congratulated Karun Nair on his selection.
"But if you ask me what Sarfaraz did wrong? I have no answer. I really hope someone has had a talk with Sarfaraz, there should be a call from the leadership or the management. He should be given reasoning and the way he can get back into the team," Ravichandran Ashwin said.
Karun Nair enjoyed an outstanding domestic season with Vidarbha in both the Vijay Hazare Trophy and the Ranji Trophy. He also showed good form while representing the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the IPL 2025.

He mentioned several contenders, including Priyansh Arya, Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, and Yashasvi Jaiswal, adding that Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Ayush Mhatre might be a little behind in the race.
"Maybe Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Ayush Mhatre are a little distance away from the T20 column. I forgot Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan, so the batting talent is there in abundance," Ashwin said.
