He has lost 10 kilograms in just six weeks as part of a focused push to prepare for the upcoming tour of England.

With Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli stepping away from Test cricket, India’s middle-order is transitioning. The upcoming England series – particularly the India A matches against the England Lions – could well shape the future of India’s batting order.

The transformation is being guided by his father and coach, Naushad Khan. Apart from a focus on his fitness, the duo have worked on tailoring his technique for challenging overseas conditions.

What’s at stake for Sarfaraz Khan in the England tour?

Sarfaraz last played for India in the home Test series against New Zealand. He didn’t feature at all in the five-match series against Australia.

In six Tests, he has scored 371 runs at an average of 37.10 – including a century and three fifties. His only century was in Bengaluru against New Zealand.

With India looking to rebuild their Test core, Sarfaraz has a real shot at establishing himself, provided he can translate his domestic form and hard work into consistent performances in England.
