Sarfaraz Khan's consistent run in the domestic circuit finally earned him a call-up to the national team ahead of the second Test of the five-match series against England in Visakhapatnam, where the home team will try to rally after losing the opener.
While Virat Kohli will continue to remain absent having withdrawn himself from the first two Tests of the series due to personal reasons, injuries to KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja have further depleted the squad. But it resulted in Sarfaraz, Sourabh Kumar and Washington Sundar's inclusion in the squad.
