Don't Go By The Size, Go By The Scores Or Wickets: Gavaskar Slams Non-selection Of Sarfaraz

By IANS News January 20, 2023 • 14:01 PM View: 569

Legendary India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has slammed the selectors over the non-selection of Mumbai batter Sarfaraz Khan for the first two Tests against Australia, saying cricketers should be judged solely for their on-field performances, not by their size or shape.

Sarfaraz has been a prolific run-getter in domestic cricket, especially in first-class matches. In the last two Ranji Trophy seasons, he has scored 1,910 runs in just 12 games, averaging 136.42.
