Ricky Ponting
Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting, who was seen guiding the fortunes of Delhi Capitals in IPL-16, expressed disappointment at Sarfaraz Khan not being picked for higher honours.
While talking about young Indian talent, Ponting said in a recent episode of The ICC Review: "The one I do feel a little bit sorry for is Sarfaraz Khan. The fact that he hasn't got a look in a Test squad just yet, considering he averages in the high 80s I think in first-class cricket, which is absolutely unheard of, but they keep picking these other guys ahead of him."
