The Men in Blue suffered a 1-3 defeat against Australia in the recently concluded five-match Test series. Sarfaraz Khan and Abhimanyu Easwaran didn't get chances in Australia. However, the team management played youngsters like Devdutt Padikkal, Nitesh Kumar Reddy, Dhruv Jurel, and Harshit Rana.
"When we had that chat before the first test, I said that it shouldn't be as straightforward a decision which Sarfraz Khan taken away and KL Rahul put in. I think there was a lot of preemption, a lot of people were playing God with Abhimanyu Easwaran and watching him in a warm-up game and thinking that he's not going to be getting a run. I think that's not a good way to look at things because cricket springs you surprises, Sanjay Manjrekar told ESPNcricinfo.

Manjrekar emphasized that if players like Kohli and Sharma are serious about performing overseas, they should be out there.
"So I want to see them, if they're serious about it, to be out there and then the selectors watch and they see something happening, something's changed and there is a possibility that we will see a different performance."
