Welcome to the Indian Test team: Fans overjoyed as Sarfaraz Khan earns maiden call-up in England series

India suffered a massive blow to their series against England after KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja were ruled out from the second Test match. Jadeja had suffered a hamstring injury on Day 4 of the opening Test match in Hyderabad, while KL Rahul complained of pain on his right quadriceps.

India named three replacements to the existing India squad for the second Test match. The Indian side handed maiden call-up for Sarfaraz Khan, who has been toiling in the Ranji Trophy for several years. In fact there was a furore over not giving Sarfaraz a call-up despite him doing sensationally well in the last three years.

India also brought in Bihar spinner Sourabh Kumar and dependable all-rounder Washington Sundar.

Fans were elated with the call-up for Sarfaraz and said that the batter deserved to play for the Indian team. Sarfaraz was the top scorer in the Ranji Trophy 2022 season with 982 runs and had scored 928 runs in the 2019/20 season as well.

In India A’s recent tour match against England Lions, Sarfaraz hit a stunning 161 in the only innings that India A batted in. Sarfaraz earned the player of the match award and helped India A win the tour game by an innings and 16 runs.
