India’s middle-order batter Sarfaraz Khan is leaving no stone unturned in his preparation for the upcoming England tour. The 27-year-old has lost 10 kilograms through a strict diet and focused fitness routine. With a place in the India A squad for the two four-day matches against the England Lions, Sarfaraz is aiming to impress selectors and earn a spot in the senior Test team.

Determined to Prove Himself Overseas

Sarfaraz made his Test debut in 2024 against England but has only played matches at home so far. He has scored 371 runs from six Tests at an average of 46.37. However, the upcoming tour of England will be his first chance to play Test cricket overseas.

To prepare for the challenging English conditions, Sarfaraz is training under his father, Naushad Khan, who has guided him since his early cricketing days. Known for his solid technique and hunger for runs in domestic cricket, Sarfaraz is now focused on adapting to foreign conditions and maintaining peak fitness.

Fitness and Discipline Key to His Comeback

In the past, Sarfaraz faced criticism for his fitness levels. But this time, he has shown serious dedication. Reports suggest that he followed a strict diet plan, cutting down on junk food and managing his calorie intake to become leaner and quicker on the field.

His hard work is not just physical. Sarfaraz is also spending long hours in the nets, working on his footwork and shot selection. He knows that scoring runs in England will strengthen his case for a long-term spot in the national team.

If Sarfaraz Khan performs well in the upcoming tour, he could soon be back in India’s main Test squad. For now, his discipline, effort, and fitness transformation show he is hungry to succeed on the big stage.
