Sarfaraz Khan, a Mumbai batter, is weighing why he needs to keep working to secure another India call-up, even as he continues scoring in domestic cricket. ESPN Cricinfo reports that although his last appearance for India was two years ago, he remains focused on maintaining his form and does not show signs of losing drive.

Other coverage adds more personal context. Free Press Journal and Times of India say Sarfaraz reflects on his sacrifices—especially those made by his father—and links his motivation to that support. He also speaks about losing substantial weight and continuing to train, while expressing frustration over a lack of communication from national selectors and his uncertain prospects.

Across outlets, the shared theme is that Sarfaraz is producing runs domestically but still faces unclear selection opportunities. The differing angles mainly concern how much emphasis each outlet places on his day-to-day motivation, his father’s role, and the specifics of his fitness work and selector-related frustrations.
