Everyone Has A Different Body Structure, You Can’t Change It: Sarfaraz Khan

Following the squad’s announcement on Friday, January 14, many people theorized that the Mumbai cricketer’s poor showing for India A was the cause of his exclusion, while just a small number believed that his fitness was to blame.

In the meantime, Sarfaraz Khan spoke out about the situation and said that he has already passed all yo-yo examinations and is qualified to represent India. Here is what the 25-year-old stated in an interview with the Times of India:

“I’m bound to fail in the odd match or two. It’s cricket, it happens. I’m not God. I can’t score in every match. And I’m very fit. I played in every match till the last. I run fast. Everyone has a different body structure, you can’t change it. I’ve cleared all the yo-yo tests in the past. Unless you clear the yo-yo test, you can’t play in the IPL.”

India and Australia are set to play their first of four Test matches on February 9 in Nagpur. The second Test will be played in Delhi starting on February 17, and the third and fourth Tests will be played in Dharamshala and Ahmedabad, respectively, starting on March 1 and March 9.
