Karun NairAfter continuously assigned a Test call-up on the back of a performance in domestic cricket, Aagarkar has supported to be good in England. Sarfaraz Khan“Sometimes you just have to make good decisions. Sarfaraz, I know that they first got 100 in the Test (vs New Zealand) and then did not get runs. Sometimes it is decided that the team takes management.”
