Sarfaraz Khan's first reaction after India call-up for Sri Lanka Test series

Sarfaraz Khan, the 28-year-old Indian batter, received an exciting update when he was included in the Indian Test squad for the upcoming Sri Lanka series. This news brought a smile to his face as he shared a series of photos on social media, showing him in the team's jersey with his father by his side. The moment was a long-awaited one for the right-handed batsman, who has been making impressive strides in domestic cricket despite not featuring in the Indian Test team.

Khan was brought in as a replacement for Sai Sudharsan, who had to withdraw from the series due to a toe injury sustained during the India A tour. The injured player is currently undergoing recovery at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru, with the BCCI reporting that his medical team is monitoring his progress diligently.

Sarfaraz Khan, who has played six Tests for India and amassed 372 runs, will join the Indian squad in Colombo before the team embarks on their first Test match in Galle on August 15. This series against Sri Lanka is crucial for India's aspirations to reach the World Test Championship final, currently sitting fifth on the WTC points table.
