Sarfaraz Khan: The Indian team is scheduled to play a two-match Test series against Sri Lanka, starting August 15th. The Indian team has been playing practice matches for the series since August 7th. Even before the start of the series, the Indian team’s difficulties have increased. A star player has been ruled out. Although the BCCI has not officially announced this, reports suggest that the left-handed batsman is still not fully fit.
Sarfaraz Khan may get a place
Sai Sudarshan was included in the Indian team for the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka. However, he has not fully recovered and has been ruled out of the series. However, an official announcement from the BCCI is still pending. In such a situation, Sarfaraz Khan may get a chance in the Indian team in place of Sudarshan. He is expected to replace Sai Sudarshan. Sarfaraz last played a Test match for India 21 months ago.
He last represented the Indian team in November 2024 against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Since then, this player has been overlooked. However, hopes have now been revived for him. It is believed that the selectors may give Sarfaraz a chance in the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka.
Stellar performance for India
