Naushad Khan, the father of cricketer Sarfaraz Khan, has taken to social media to debunk rumours about his son’s association with an IPL team. He warns cricket enthusiasts about imposters creating fake accounts on platforms like Facebook and Instagram, falsely claiming affiliation with IPL franchises.

Sarfaraz’s Rising Career

Sarfaraz Khan, known for his talent on the cricket field, recently made his Test debut during the England series. His younger brother, Musheer Khan, also showcased his skills at the U-19 World Cup 2024, scoring impressively for Team India. Despite Sarfaraz’s release from Delhi Capitals (DC) ahead of IPL 2024, his debut performance garnered attention.

Addressing the proliferation of fake accounts, Naushad Khan urges aspiring cricketers to remain vigilant. He cautions against falling prey to scams wherein imposters demand money under false pretences to secure IPL selection or academy placements. Naushad emphasizes the importance of trusting one’s hard work and advises against believing in fraudulent claims.

Unsold at IPL Auction

Despite his notable cricketing achievements, including 50 IPL appearances, Sarfaraz Khan remained unsold at the IPL 2024 auction. Although initially available at a base price of INR 20 lakh, his lack of bids prompted speculation about his future in the league.

Despite the setback at the auction, Sarfaraz Khan’s promising performance in Test cricket could attract interest from IPL franchises. Reports suggest that former champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are considering signing the talented batter for the upcoming season.

As Sarfaraz Khan navigates his cricketing journey, it is crucial to remain vigilant against misinformation and fraudulent activities on social media. Naushad Khan’s clarification underscores the importance of authenticity and integrity in the pursuit of sporting success.
