A Message From A Pakistan Cricketer On Sarfaraz Khan’s Maiden Test Call-Up
On Monday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India announced a plethora of changes in the Indian squad for the second Test against England after Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul were both ruled out due to injuries. The exclusion of the duo paved the way for the board to hand Sarfaraz Khan his maiden call-up to India's Test squad, while Washington Sundar and Sourabh Kumar were also named on the roster. Sarfaraz, who has been a consistent scorer in domestic cricket, has been waiting for this day, and when the BCCI gave him his maiden call-up, social media welcomed the decision with both hands.
The batters of India and Mumbai Suryakumar Yadav was one of the first cricketers to extend greetings to Sarfaraz on the call-up. But greetings came from across the border as well, with Pakistan opening batter Imam-ul-Haq also congratulating the Indian cricketer for his Test call-up.
Imam-ul-Haq wrote on X, "Congratulations, brother. So happy for you.”
