Sarfaraz Khan has been named as the official replacement for Sai Sudharsan, who has been ruled out of the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka.
Sarfaraz returns to the squad after a 19-month exile, with selectors favoring his experience on turning tracks over other middle-order contenders like Dhruv Jurel.
The team is currently preparing for the series opener, where Sarfaraz is expected to play a key role in stabilizing the batting lineup against spin.
