Sarfaraz Khan says only his father supported him through career struggles

Sarfaraz Khan said only his father has supported him through career struggles and that selectors view him as a home-Test batter only. He last played for India two years ago and continues to play Ranji Trophy for Mumbai.

The 26-year-old said he asks himself daily why he should work harder when few others back him. He shed significant weight through fitness work on outside advice.

Sarfaraz remains motivated despite repeated omissions from India's senior squad for overseas tours. He continues to pile up runs in domestic cricket while selection uncertainty persists.
