Twitter reacts to Sarfaraz Khan being overlooked yet again as India name test squad for WI tour

Sarfaraz Khan has been scoring heavily in last three seasons in Ranji Trophy.

Mumbai’s sensation Sarfaraz Khan has been once again overlooked by Indian national selectors. Sarfaraz Khan once again failed to place himself among the 16-member squad that will fly to West Indies next month. Fans have clearly shown their disappointment over Sarfaraz Khan’s exclusion once again from the test team.

India have announced a 16-member squad for the West Indies tour and have dropped their experienced number three Cheteshwar Pujara due to non-performance. Selectors have picked Ruturaj Gaikwad and Yashasvi Jaiswal as Pujara’s replacements. India will go with a new number 3 batter against West Indies in two test match series. The West Indies tour would have been a great opportunity for Sarfaraz Khan, who is continuously scoring in the Indian domestic circuit. 

Mumbai’s 25-year-old batter Sarfaraz Khan has been in amazing form with red-ball cricket and has staggering numbers to back his selection in the Indian test team yet he has been snubbed every time for the selection. Fans have questioned the selection of Ruturaj Gaikwad over Sarfaraz Khan and have said that selectors have given IPL performance more weightage than First-class numbers. Fans have also blamed selectors for not having a proper outline ready for the future of Indian cricket. 

Here's how twitter reacted to Sarafaraz Khan's snub:
