While the selectors tried to provide an opportunity to the emerging players, leaving everyone surprised, they ignored Auqib Nabi, who was the best bowler in the Ranji Trophy 2025-26 season. Why the selectors did not choose Nabi remains a mystery.
"I feel very sad for Auqib Nabi. He has taken around 60 wickets this season and around 50 last year, but we still don't find him a place in the Test team. It is very disappointing and surprising. Everybody says players have to perform in domestic cricket, but what is the use of playing the domestic season if those performances are not being recognized? Auqib Nabi is a very good Test-match bowler and an excellent exponent of swing bowling," Azharuddin said.
Sarfaraz Khan made his debut, but suddenly vanished from the scenario
Sarfaraz made his Test debut in February 2024 and played a total of 6 matches in the format, and all of those matches he played for India in the same year. His last match for India was on November 1, 2024, against New Zealand at Wankhede. In Bengaluru, he registered a 150 against the Kiwis.
I am very disappointed with the non-inclusion of Aqib Nabi and Sarfaraz: Azharuddin
"He (Sarfaraz Khan) has been given a chance after the New Zealand series. I don't think they have played him in any matches. I think it is fine if he scored 100 in that game. I mean, you need to give consistent chances. If you don't give chances, it becomes very difficult. He has not been given a chance in Australia or England. So, what does that mean?” the former captain raises the question.
