Sarfaraz Khan has been named as B Sai Sudharsan's replacement for India's Test series against Sri Lanka after Sudharsan was sidelined due to a right toe stress reaction.
Selection rationale
Sarfaraz picked over Shaik Rasheed
The Men's Selection Committee has opted for Sarfaraz over Shaik Rasheed, who was also in contention to replace Sudharsan.
The decision was made after considering Sarfaraz's experience at the highest level.
He has already represented India in six Tests, scoring 371 runs at an average of 37.10 with one hundred and three half-centuries to his name.
