NEW DELHI: Middle-order batter Sarfaraz Khan has been ruled out of action for three weeks due to injury. The 26-year-old will also miss the Duleep Trophy. He is currently undergoing rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy’s Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.

Indian cricket fans expressed disappointment as the Duleep Trophy, a premier domestic tournament featuring stars like Mohammed Shami and Kuldeep Yadav, lacked live streaming. This edition marks a return to the zonal format and serves as a trial for the 'serious injury replacement substitute' rule.

Despite Shreyas Iyer's impressive performances in the ICC Champions Trophy, IPL, and domestic red-ball season, Aakash Chopra suggests a Test call-up isn't imminent. Chopra highlights that players like Karun Nair, Sarfaraz Khan, and Dhruv Jurel are ahead in the queue.
