MUMBAI: Sarfaraz Khan, the prolific run-getter in India's domestic circuit, will miss out on the upcoming Irani Cup clash between 2021-22 Ranji Trophy champions Madhya Pradesh and Rest of India due to a hairline fracture on his finger, TOI has learnt. In his absence, opener Mayank Agarwal is likely to lead the Rest of India side.
"Sarfaraz suffered the injury on his right finger while doing the 'keeping duties for DY Patil 'B' in a match during the DY Patil T20 Cup. He was injured while collecting a throw from teammate Yash Dhull. He will be out of action for around 10 days. He is currently recuperating at the Delhi Capitals' pre-season camp at Kolkata," a source told TOI.
The consistent Sarfaraz has scored 3505 runs in 37 first-class games at an average of 79.65, with 13 hundreds. The Mumbai batsman scored 556 runs in 6 games at an average of 92.66, with three centuries, in the just-concluded edition of the Ranji Trophy.
