Sarfaraz Khan was not sure that he would be selected in Team India for the Test series against Bangladesh. However, he was proved wrong and he got a place in Team India. However, after his name was included in the team, now the news is coming that this player will not get a place in the playing eleven. KL Rahul will be included in the playing eleven in place of Sarfaraz and this news is not good for him at all. Sarfaraz had performed brilliantly against England, his average was more than 50 but according to reports, considering KL Rahul's experience, he is going to get a chance in the playing eleven.

Series from Bangladesh but Australia is the target

Team India is playing against Bangladesh but its eyes are on the five-match Test series in Australia. Before this series, the selectors want their players to get full experience and match practice. Rahul's experience will come in handy in Australia and now he will get opportunities. According to a PTI report, a BCCI source said that people from outside do not understand how a team works and what kind of system is in place. KL scored a century in his last 3 Test matches in South Africa which is one of the best Test innings in recent times and scored 86 runs in his last Test in Hyderabad before getting injured.

The BCCI official said that KL Rahul was not dropped from the team, he was injured. He is fit now and he also scored a half-century in the Duleep Trophy and now he will also play the first Test against Bangladesh.

Sarfaraz will get a chance on this condition

Sarfaraz Khan batted brilliantly against England. His footwork against the spinners was excellent, however despite this he will have to sit on the bench. He will be given a chance only if some player gets injured. The team management wants to keep Rahul ready for the Australia tour.

This player has scored centuries on big foreign grounds like Sydney, Lord's, Oval, Centurion and hence he is far ahead of Sarfaraz in the race.

There is a problem regarding Kuldeep and Akshar as well

However, the team management is also facing a big problem regarding Kuldeep Yadav and Akshar Patel. Who will be the third spinner in the team along with Jadeja and Ashwin is a big question. Akshar Patel is in good form with the ball and bat, on the other hand Kuldeep Yadav's spin has shown amazing performance in the last one year.

Now it remains to be seen what Rohit and Gambhir will do.
