Sarfaraz was expected to play for India A in the red-ball series following his snub from the West Indies series. However, the selection committee led by Ajit Agarkar ignored him. He will continue representing Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy. Sarfaraz last featured for India in the Test series against New Zealand in 2024.
Sarfaraz had initially broken into the national team with strong domestic performances, but was inconsistent in India whites last year. He scored a standout hundred in Bengaluru against New Zealand but then recorded a string of low scores on turning tracks.
Sarfaraz would need to move up the Mumbai batting order from No. 5 and demonstrate his capabilities. However, it depends on how his role aligns with the team’s current combinations.
I Think Our Batting Order Is Set - Shardul Thakur
Thakur also said that Sarfaraz’s participation in India A matches is not essential for a Test recall. He added that if Sarfaraz returns to scoring consistently, he could directly make a comeback to the national Test side.
“I think nowadays in India A side, they look at boys, (who) they want to prepare for international cricket. I think Sarfaraz doesn’t need India A games to play international cricket."

Shardul Thakur said that Sarfaraz Khan is a dependable senior player with the ability to perform in crucial moments. He described Sarfaraz as a special talent who consistently contributes big scores, regardless of his batting position.
The Indian team management and selectors are unconvinced about Sarfaraz’s immediate prospects. With limited coordination between the national and Mumbai selectors, Sarfaraz’s focus remains on delivering big scores.
