‘Logo ka waqt aata hai, tera zamana aayega’ – Fans react as Sarfaraz Khan puts out cryptic Instagram story after not making West Indies series

India is all set to tour West Indies (WI) for two Tests, three ODIs, and five T20Is, starting on July 12. The tour will begin with the first Test in Dominica. The Test series against the Caribbean will begin India’s campaign for the WTC cycle 2023-25. The Indian Cricket Board has announced the squads for the Tests and the ODI series against the WI on Friday, June 2023.

Fans have been left surprised over the selection of the Indian team for the West Indies tour. The Mumbai-born cricketer, Sarfaraz Khan was not considered for any of the teams despite performing really well in the domestic circuit. Many former cricketers like Aakash Chopra and Wasim Jaffer were not happy with the decision to not select him for the longest format.

If there’s some other reason, something which you and I don’t know, make it public: Aakash Chopra

After being ignored for the selection for the West Indies tour, Sarfaraz put a cryptic Instagram story in which he showed his first-class stats to everyone. Aakash Chopra slammed the selectors on his YouTube channel while stating that they should at least state the reason for leaving behind the youngster from the Test squad despite performing really well in first-class cricket.

“What should Sarfaraz do? If you look at his numbers in the past 3 years, he’s head and shoulders above the rest. He’s scored everywhere. Even then, if he’s not selected… what message does it send?” Chopra said, asking the selectors an important question,” Chopra was quoted as saying on his YouTube channel.

“This is a question worth asking. If there’s some other reason, something which you and I don’t know, make it public. Just say it that you didn’t like that particular thing about Sarfaraz, and that’s why you’re not considering him. But we don’t know if there’s something like that. I don’t know if someone told Sarfaraz about that,” the 45-year-old asserted.

In recent times Ranji stalwarts have rarely performed in international matches. Somehow feel that he might not be able to perform against quality attacks. Not a fair comparison but going by the glimpses in recent IPL games sort of highlights my point. Should keep trying.
