# Sarfaraz Khan replaces injured Sai Sudharsan for Sri Lanka Tests 2026-08-09T15:30:29+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Mumbai batter Sarfaraz Khan has been named as the replacement for the injured Sai Sudharsan in India's 15-man squad for the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka, the BCCI announced. Sudharsan was ruled out after failing to recover from a right toe stress reaction sustained during India A's tour of Sri Lanka in July. He is currently rehabilitating at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. The Test series begins on August 15 in Galle. Sarfaraz last played a Test in November 2024 against New Zealand, scoring two half-centuries on debut earlier that year against England but later suffering a dip in form. The 28-year-old has played six Tests overall and averages 64 in first-class cricket. ## Coverage - indiatvnews.com - deccanherald.com - timesnownews.com - sports.ndtv.com Tags: BCCI, Cricket, India vs Sri Lanka, Sai Sudharsan, Sarfaraz Khan, Test series Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/sarfaraz-khan-replaces-injured-sai-sudharsan-for-sri-lanka-tests/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
