Haris Rauf Aims to Play Test Cricket for Pakistan Ahead of Sri Lanka Series
Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf has expressed his intention to play Test cricket, aiming to be part of the upcoming two-match series against Sri Lanka in November. Predominantly a white-ball specialist, Rauf has played only one Test since 2022 and is currently participating in Pakistan's domestic first-class tournament to improve his red-ball skills. Pakistan, struggling in the pace department after a recent series defeat to England, is seeking fast-bowling reinforcements ahead of the Sri Lanka tour.
