Earlier this year, Sarfaraz Khan, who is known for his aggressive batting in domestic cricket, was successful in impressing the Indian team management by performing brilliantly in the Test series against England. 26-year-old Sarfaraz scored a total of 200 runs at an average of more than 50 in the 3 Test matches played against England.

This was the reason why he was able to make it to the Indian team for India’s upcoming Test series against Bangladesh. However, now the news is coming that in the first Test match against Bangladesh, KL Rahul may be given preference in the playing eleven instead of Sarfaraz Khan. Recently, a senior source of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has also given a big statement regarding this.

BCCI source gave a big statement

Let us tell you that in a recent interview with The Wire, a senior BCCI source said – People from outside do not understand how a team works and what systems are in place. In his last three Test matches, KL Rahul scored a century in South Africa, which is one of the best Test innings in recent times and in the last Test he played in Hyderabad before the injury, he scored 86 runs.

He was not dropped from the team, but he got injured. But now he is fit and available. He scored a half-century in the Duleep Trophy, and when he got time, he started.

The source further said- Sarfaraz Khan has done everything right, but if he gets injured, he will be out of the team, but Rahul’s experience is irreplaceable. And the team management is looking at him not only against Bangladesh but also against Australia, where experience matters.
