Delhi: Team India’s young batsman Sarfaraz Khan is preparing for the tour of England. He has worked hard on his fitness and has reduced the weight of about 10 kg. For this, they are following a strict diet plan of boiled vegetables and chicken.
Practicing twice every day
Sarfaraz is practicing twice daily. Especially he is trying to improve his control over balls outside the off stump, because it is not easy to deal with swing balls on England’s pitches.
Not yet got a chance to play Tests abroad
Sarfaraz Khan made his Test debut against England in 2024, but till now he has not been able to play a single foreign test. This time he has been included in the India A team to play two Tests against England Lions, which can be a big opportunity for him.

Australia did not get a chance in the series
In the recent 5 -match Test series, Sarfaraz did not get a chance to play a single match against Australia. He played his last Test against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Test record so far
Sarfaraz has played a total of six Test matches so far, in which he has scored 371 runs at an average of 37.10. During this, he has scored 1 century and 3 half -centuries. His best performance came in Bengaluru against New Zealand, where he played a brilliant innings of 150 runs, although the team could not win.
Permanent performance in domestic cricket
In domestic cricket too, Sarfaraz has won his talent. He played an unbeaten innings of 222* runs in Irani Cup for Mumbai, which played an important role in winning the team.
Chance after Rohit and Kohli’s retirement
Now that senior players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have retired from Test cricket, there are two places vacant in Team India’s playing XI. In such a situation, Sarfaraz has this golden opportunity to prove himself.
