The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has released Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel, and Yash Dayal from the Indian Test squad for the ongoing second Test against Bangladesh in Kanpur. The trio will participate in the Irani Cup, which begins in Lucknow on Tuesday.
The decision was made to allow the players to gain match practice ahead of the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. Sarfaraz will represent Mumbai, while Jurel and Dayal will join the Rest of India squad.
Sarfaraz, a prolific run-scorer in domestic cricket, has been in impressive form this season. He has scored over 1,000 runs in the Ranji Trophy, including a triple-century. Jurel, a left-arm spinner, has also been in good form, taking 25 wickets in the Ranji Trophy. Dayal, a left-arm pacer, has impressed with his pace and accuracy.
The BCCI had earlier stated that the trio would be released from the Test squad if they were not included in the playing XI. The decision to release them now is a testament to the BCCI's commitment to player development.
The Irani Cup is an annual first-class cricket match played between the Rest of India and the winner of the Ranji Trophy. It is a prestigious tournament that provides players with an opportunity to showcase their skills and compete for a place in the Indian team.
The release of Sarfaraz, Jurel, and Dayal from the Test squad is a significant development. It highlights the BCCI's focus on player development and its commitment to providing opportunities for young players to excel.
