Sarfaraz Khan recently returned to competitive cricket for Mumbai during their Ranji Trophy 2025-26 opener against Jammu and Kashmir. The right-handed batter recorded scores of 42 and 32 across the two innings in Mumbai’s victory. Notably, he recently lost a lot of weight and looks fitter than ever in his career.
Sarfaraz Khan has been one of India’s most consistent red-ball performers, amassing 2,467 runs over the past five years at an average of 117.47, including 10 centuries and five fifties.
Sarfaraz Khan Omitted from India A Squad to Focus on Ranji Trophy
According to a report by The Times of India, Sarfaraz Khan’s omission from the India A red-ball squad is not the end of his Test prospects. The selectors reportedly want him to gain consistent match practice in the Ranji Trophy following his injury.
“It’s not correct that he's not even in the scheme of things for the Indian Test team, or the doors have been closed on him. He’s a talented player. The reality is that the selectors want to ensure that Sarfaraz gets to play as many matches in the Ranji Trophy as possible after his return from injury," a source in the BCCI told TOI.

Ayush Mhatre earned a surprise call-up to the India A squad. The teenage opener scored just 38 runs at 12.66 in two U-19 Tests against Australia and 10 runs at 3.33 in three Youth ODIs.
"It's a surprise Diwali gift for us. It's a golden opportunity for him. This season isn't going great for him, but he's still been given a good platform to perform. I must salute the selectors' thinking behind investing in him," Yogesh Mhatre told TOI.
