GALLE – Sarfaraz Ahmed on Monday added another feather to his cap as he has become the first Pakistani wicketkeeper-batsman to complete 3,000 Test runs.
The former skipper achieved the feat while playing against Sri Lanka in first game of the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka at Galle.
The right-armed batsman made 17 runs before he was dismissed by Prabath Jayasuriya, who produced a magical spell to remove Babar Azam and Abdullah Shafique.
