Sarfaraz Khan has been named as the replacement for the injured Sai Sudharsan in the Indian squad for the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka.
The selection committee faces a tactical dilemma regarding the number six batting spot, with Sarfaraz competing against Dhruv Jurel for a place in the playing XI.
Sarfaraz, who has been training under coach Gautam Gambhir, is looking to make a strong impact after a 19-month absence from the national Test setup.
