Thus with the whole world busy in IPL, Sarfaraz Khan is silently making sure that he takes his next game to the next level ahead of the England tour.
The first unofficial Test between India A and England Lions will be played from May 30 and Sarfaraz Khan would be hoping to show his new-found fitness in that game.
