Sarfaraz Khan Left Out Of India’s First Test XI Against Sri Lanka

The Indian Opinion

The word “snubbed” makes a selection call sound like a judgement on Sarfaraz’s ability, but the available fact is narrower: India preferred a settled XI for this Test. That may prove wise or costly depending on the match, but the clearest measure is Sarfaraz’s next opportunity and how India’s chosen batting line-up performs in Galle.
