Sarfaraz Ahmed's mother shed tears after her son's successful comeback in the two-match Test series against New Zealand.

The wicketkeeper-batter amassed 355 runs in four innings at an average of 88.75.

After his sensational performance, his mother said: "I feel great that Sarfaraz performed well. He played for his country and if God Wills, he will play in the future."

Sarfaraz, who had last played in January 2019 before this series, had to wait for three years, 11 months, and 15 days to don Pakistan's Test shirt once again.

"I couldn't sleep all night and I prayed that he completes his century," she said while shedding tears.

On being asked if Sarfaraz ever gave up after not being selected, she said: "He never said anything, neither he said anything bad about anyone."

The former captain delivered with the bat as he smashed 86 before losing his wicket to Ajaz Patel in the first innings of the opening Test, while in the second innings, he scored 53 runs.

In the second Test, the batter gathered 78 runs before getting out after a controversial decision. Meanwhile, in the second innings, Sarfaraz scored 118 runs.
