Kaif Supports Sarfaraz Khan's Return to India's Test Squad

Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif has expressed support for Sarfaraz Khan's return to the Test squad ahead of the series against Sri Lanka. Sarfaraz was called up as a replacement for the injured Sai Sudharsan and joined the team in Sri Lanka on Monday.

Kaif highlighted Sarfaraz's proficiency against spin, suggesting he could be a better fit for the No. 6 position than Dhruv Jurel, who has struggled with form. He questioned the reasons behind Sarfaraz's previous exclusion from the team, asserting that it was not due to poor performance.

With Sarfaraz's strong record against spin and his ability to adapt to challenging batting conditions, Kaif believes he should be included in the playing XI. The first Test is set to begin on August 15 in Galle, with Sarfaraz's selection being a key topic of discussion.
