He was playing because someone else was injured. The competition for batting spots is so intense that, unfortunately, someone will always miss out. But for the guy who misses out, what can he do? He can just keep scoring runs, and Sarfaraz has been doing that in the Irani Cup. He needs to stay in good form, maintain his fitness, and his chances will come,&#8221; Paranjape told TimesofIndia.com in an exclusive interview.<\/p>\n<div data-pos=\"0\" class=\"id-r-component QbQNS undefined  &#10;        \">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Embed-Sarfaraz-1410-AP\" msid=\"114203056\" width=\"600\" title=\"\" placeholdersrc=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/83033472.cms\" imgsize=\"23456\" resizemode=\"4\" offsetvertical=\"0\" placeholdermsid=\"\" type=\"thumb\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/thumb\/imgsize-23456,msid-114203056,width-600,resizemode-4\/114203056.jpg\" data-api-prerender=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"em \" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Sarfaraz Khan (AP Photo)<\/span><br \/>The former selector has a feeling that Sarfaraz could be in the reserves for the upcoming <!-- -->Border Gavaskar Trophy<!-- --> in Australia too.<br \/>&#8220;I feel he might also be taken to Australia as a reserve player.
