Rizwan replaces Sarfaraz as concussion substitute  

Pakistan wicketkeeper batsman Sarfaraz Ahmed has been replaced by Mohammad Rizwan as a concussion substitute in the ongoing second Test between Pakistan and Sri Lanka at the Singhalese Sports Club after match referee David Boon accepted the Pakistan team management’s request for the substitution.

Sarfaraz was hit on his head while ducking a bouncer by Asitha Fernando in the afternoon session on day three. He remains under the observation of the Pakistan Cricket Board’s medical panel.

Sarfaraz scored 14 runs before retired hurt. He has become once again the number one choice as a wicketkeeper for red ball cricket while Rizwan, the white ball essential in Pakistan playing Xi mix had taken the backseat.
