The BCCI on Tuesday announced the India A squads for two four-day matches against South Africa A, scheduled at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. Notably, Sarfaraz Khan, who last represented India in the home series against New Zealand in November 2024, was excluded from both matches.
Sarfaraz Khan recently returned to competitive cricket for Mumbai during their Ranji Trophy 2025-26 opener against Jammu and Kashmir. The right-handed batter recorded scores of 42 and 32 across the two innings in Mumbai's victory. Notably, he recently lost a lot of weight and looks fitter than ever in his career.
Sarfaraz Khan's Exclusion from India A Squad Raises EyebrowsSarfaraz Khan's continued omission from India's squad has raised questions. The 27-year-old scored 92 against the England Lions during India A's England tour and an unbeaten century in an intra-squad match featuring Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj.
