Chase your dreams, they do come true’ – that’s what master blaster Sachin Tendulkar said in front of a jam-packed Wankhede Stadium while bidding adieu to international cricket in 2013. That statement fits perfectly into the script of Mumbai cricketer Sarfaraz Khan who has put in the hard yards in domestic cricket to earn an India call-up.
The BCCI selection committee on Monday added Sarfaraz, left-arm spinner Sourabh Kumar, and all-rounder Washington Sundar to the squad for the second Test against England.
It is a maiden national call-up for Sarfaraz after a stellar domestic cricket show and more recently in the India A series against England Lions.
Sarfaraz was included in the squad after India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and batter KL Rahul were ruled out due to injuries.
