Hindustan Times  

Sarfaraz Ahmed announced his comeback with a gritty century as Pakistan managed to draw the second Test match on Day 4 vs New Zealand, in Karachi on Friday.

But his hopes could be dashed as interim chief selector Shahid Afridi feels Rizwan is the side's main wicketkeeper and asked fans not to mix Test cricket with ODIs.
