Sarfaraz Khan: Performance is key, selectors' job is theirs

Cricketer Sarfaraz Khan discusses his focus on performance over selection, his IPL comeback, and captaining in the T20 Mumbai League.

Cricketer Sarfaraz Khan has emphasized that his primary focus remains on performing well on the field, regardless of selection outcomes. Khan stated this while speaking on the sidelines of the jersey launch for Aakash Tigers Mumbai Western Suburbs, whom he will captain in the upcoming T20 Mumbai League.

Returning to the IPL this season after a two-year hiatus, Sarfaraz Khan played for Chennai Super Kings, scoring 161 runs in eight innings with an impressive strike rate of 169.47. He identified improving his strike rate as a significant challenge during his comeback, crediting improvements in fitness, fielding, and batting for his success.

The T20 Mumbai League is set to commence on June 1 at the Wankhede Stadium. Khan expressed that one can never be fully satisfied in cricket, as there is always something new to learn and work on each day. He hopes his performance in the T20 Mumbai League will strengthen his case for national selection, though he refrains from public discussion on selection matters.
