Sarfaraz’s father said: Sarfaraz’s name has come for the test team; he has been selected, so I want to thank everyone, especially the Mumbai Cricket Association, from where Sarfaraz grew up, as well as the National Cricket Academy, from where he got the experience of BCCI, who trusted him, of all the selectors, as well as of all the fans who prayed a lot and loved him, and we all hope that he plays well for the country and whenever the team wins. I just hope that he makes a contribution to it and always does good.
