Sarfaraz Khan, a Mumbai batsman, was named to India’s team for the second Test of the upcoming five-match home series against England on Monday, January 29.
Sarfaraz’s father, Naushad Khan, expressed happiness at his son’s first India call-up.
He complimented the BCCI and national selectors for believing in the 26-year-old.
Sarfaraz’s younger brother, Musheer Khan, released a video on social media announcing his first Test call-up.
I’d want to thank everyone, particularly the Mumbai Cricket Association, where he grew up.
In addition, he thanks the National Cricket Academy for providing him with experience, the BCCI and selectors for believing in him, and all of his followers for praying for and supporting him.
We all hope he continues to perform well for his nation and adds to the team’s success.
Sarfaraz Khan has proven his worth in domestic cricket and has had a dominant run for Mumbai.
He seemed in excellent form for India ‘A’ in the first two unofficial Tests against the England Lions, scoring 55 and 161 in his final two innings.
The brilliant kid has 3,912 runs in 45 first-class matches, with an excellent average of 69.85.
