Harbhajan Singh has voiced his disappointment over Sarfaraz Khan’s omission from the Indian squad. The former cricketer believes Khan has the potential to make a strong return to the national team, drawing parallels with Karun Nair’s comeback journey. Khan, who was dropped from the team, recently scored 92 runs in a practice match against the England Lions. Singh was taken aback by Khan’s absence from the team sheet. He advised Khan to stay resilient and focus on his performances, similar to how Nair earned his place back in the team through domestic cricket.
Singh noted, “It’s very unfortunate… I was a bit shocked not seeing his name in the squad. I’m sure he will come back strong. He has got that will to make a comeback. All I can say is, don’t be disheartened, you will get your due, if not today, then tomorrow. Look at Karun Nair. He scored 300 runs against England and then never got too many opportunities. Now he is back in England with the team.” The article further argues that Khan’s consistency and adaptability make him a better choice compared to Nair, despite Nair’s impressive triple century.
