KARACHI: Pakistan’s Emerging wicketkeeper Haseebullah Khan was all praises for senior campaigner Sarfaraz Ahmed for guiding him in the red-ball camp ahead of the upcoming home series against Bangladesh.
In a video that went viral on social media, Sarfaraz Ahmed was seen passing on his experience to Haseebullah and gave the youngster valuable tips regarding wicketkeeping.
Reflecting on his experience with Sarfaraz, Haseebullah spoke highly of the former Pakistan captain and shared that he was awestruck with the senior’s humbleness.
“I have rarely encountered someone as sincere as Saifi bhai [Sarfaraz Ahmed],” said Haseebullah.
“No matter what I asked him, he never refused me and always helped me selflessly. Saifi bhai not only helps me but continues to guide me,” he added.
It is worth mentioning that Pakistan are set to embark on a busy home international season with a two-match Test series against Bangladesh.
The Test series will commence on August 21 in Rawalpindi before concluding on September 3 in Karachi.
Pakistan will host England for three Tests in Multan (7-11 October), Karachi (15-19 October) and Rawalpindi (24-28 October), and the West Indies will visit for two Tests in Karachi (16-20 January) and Multan (24-28 January).
Additionally, Pakistan will host an ODI tri-series, featuring New Zealand and South Africa, scheduled in Multan from 8-14 February.
Bangladesh last played a Test in Pakistan in February 2020, while England swept the three-Test series in December 2022. The 2025 series will also mark the West Indies’ first Test tour to Pakistan since November 2006 when Brian Lara captained the side against Inzamam-ul-Haq men.
