Sarfaraz Khan Asks Why He Should Work Harder After Test Team Snub

Mumbai batter Sarfaraz Khan has spoken out about his continued omission from India's Test team, saying he wakes up every morning asking himself why he should keep working so hard when consistent domestic runs and improved fitness have still not earned him a recall.

Sarfaraz, who made his Test debut in February 2024, has played all six of his Tests at home, with his last appearance coming against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in 2024.

He said he feels the team looks at him mainly as an option for home conditions, even though he has scored hundreds in intra-squad matches in South Africa and England.

The 29-year-old made his comments after scoring a fifty for Mumbai in their Ranji Trophy match against Railways, adding that his father's hard work is the one thing that keeps him motivated.
