IND vs WI: Not Heard Anything From The Mumbai Coach Or The Captain Or The Management Saba Karim On Sarfaraz Khans Off-Field Issues

Sarfaraz Khan, WV Raman

Former Indian selector and cricketer Saba Karim believes that off-field behavior cannot be the reason for the exclusion of young batter Sarfaraz Khan from the Indian Test squad. Saba Karim stated that Sarfaraz Khan did not have any issues with his domestic team, Mumbai.

The celebration of Sarfaraz Khan, in which he pointed his finger after scoring a century against Delhi in a Ranji Trophy match, initially raised speculation that it was directed towards the selectors. However, it was later clarified that the gesture was actually intended for his team.

Cannot Be The Ground For Non-Selection – Saba Karim

In an interview with Sportskeeda, Saba Karim highlighted that he has not heard any negative feedback regarding Sarfaraz Khan’s attitude in domestic cricket.

“I don’t believe in all that. I think that’s the work of the management and the coach to handle such cricketers if there is any issue like that, but having interacted with Sarfaraz at all, I don’t think there is an issue at all,” Karim told Sportskeeda.

“If that is the issue, how come he has been playing regularly for Mumbai? [We have] not heard anything from the Mumbai coach or the captain or the management.

He has been playing regularly, he has been fit, he has played most of the matches, and he has played all format matches for Mumbai, as well as the Rest of India or zonal levels. And he has done well in all those matches. That, in my mind, cannot be the ground for non-selection,” he added.

That’s The Biggest Role Of The Selector – Saba Karim

The former Indian wicketkeeper emphasized that selectors and team management play a crucial role in a player’s career.

“See when you pick a side, all 15 players, just like the human race, everybody’s different,” he continued.

“So the work of the management comes in how you treat the player, how you monitor them, how you guide them, so that you get the best out of them.

I think that is the role, that’s the biggest role of the selector and the team management, more of the team management. I think these are very flimsy grounds for non-selection,” he concluded.

Sarfaraz Khan made his first-class debut in December 2014 and has scored 3505 runs in 37 matches with an average of 79.65, including 13 hundred and nine fifties. The Mumbai batter scored 2446 runs in the last three editions of the Ranji Trophy.

Image
Sri Lankan opener Pathum Nissanka scripted history as he scored his maiden ODI double ton in the first ODI against Afghanistan in Pallekele. The Lankans scored a mammoth 381/3 in 50 overs. He became the first Sri Lankan batsman to score a double century in ODI cricket. He surpassed Sanath Jayasuriya’s career-best ODI score of 189 to achieve this rare feat. He got to the landmark hitting a boundary four of Afghan pacer Fareed Malik. Nissanka finished with 210 off 139 deliveries as he hit 20 fours and 8 sixes in his innings at a strike rate of 151.07. He first added 182 runs for the first wicket with Avishka Fernando (88). Kusal Mendis the captain scored 16, Charith Asalanka an unbeaten 7 as Nissaka added another crucial stand of 120 runs with Sadeera. Every Afghanistan bowler was expensive in this match. Fareed Malik and Mohammad Nabi were the only two bowlers to pick up wickets. Every bowler barring Nabi conceded runs at an excess of seven runs per over. Malik went for 79 runs off h...

“It’s MS Dhoni show” – CSK fans happy despite defeat to DC as India legend shines with excellent cameo

Image
In the 13th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024) , the Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals (DC) took on the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, March 31. Delhi Capitals won the toss and surprisingly elected to bat first in the match. They made two changes to their playing XI as Kuldeep Yadav, who had a niggle, and Ricky Bhui were replaced by Prithvi Shaw and Ishant Sharma. Chennai Super Kings, unsurprisingly, fielded an unchanged playing XI. Playing in his first match in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Prithvi Shaw set the stage on fire and gave a message to the DC team management. He played his natural attacking brand of cricket and was involved in a terrific partnership of 93 runs with veteran opening batsman David Warner. Shaw smashed 43 runs off 27 balls during his stay in the middle and David Warner slammed 52 runs off 25 balls. The DC openers wer...

“Hardik Pandya leave captaincy” – Twitter reacts as RR’s Riyan Parag, Trent Boult hand MI their 3rd consecutive defeat

Image
The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai hosted the 14th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024) between the Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians (MI) and Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Monday, April 1. Rajasthan Royals (RR) won the toss and as expected elected to bowl first in the match. They made one notable change to their bowling unit as Sandeep Sharma, who was unfit, made the way for Nandre Burger in the playing XI. The decision to have a go with the ball turned out to be excellent for the visiting team as the star left-arm pacer Trent Boult made the Mumbai batters dance to his tunes. Trent Boult dismissed Rohit Sharma and Naman Dhir for golden ducks on the 5th and 6th ball of the first over of the innings. MI were forced to bring in Dewald Brevis ahead of the second over as an impact player. Nandre Burger came to bowl the second over and he bowled some brilliant lines and lengths but wasn’t able to pick any wickets. Then, Trent Boult came again and dismissed Brevis ...
