Former all-rounder Irfan Pathan on Wednesday talked about Sarafraz Khan’s selection and feels that it would be “difficult” for him to play in India’s second Test against England at Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium.
India lost the first Test of the series by 28 runs which was played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, in Hyderabad. Both teams will lock horns against each other in the second match of the series at Vishakhapatnam on Friday.
Pathan congratulated the Mumbai batter and said that he is very happy with the inclusion of him but it would be difficult for him to straight get into the playing XI.
“First of all congratulations to Sarfaraz Khan for getting into the team after a brilliant performance in domestic cricket. This is a small victory for each and every player who is playing domestic cricket and scoring runs. I was really happy as he was selected. However, it would be difficult for him to get into the playing XI as there are players like Rajat Patidar who have been waiting for a long time,” Pathan said at an event on Wednesday.
