Ups and downs are part and parcel of a player&#39;s career.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;When I was captain, I was more focused on how the team performed but now I will be able to focus on my own performance.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Head coach Misbah-ul-Haq had said after squad announcement that Sarfaraz had been included in the squad as a back-up stumper behind Mohammad Rizwan considering their lengthy tour of England.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;As far as being a back-up wicket keeper is concerned, I am not worried about being the first or second choice,&quot; the veteran wicket-keeper said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I am happy that I am back in the team and having two wicket keepers is good for the team. We have seen this in past with Moin Khan and Rashid Latif.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The two teams will lock horns against each other in the shorter format after the conclusion of England&#39;s three-match Test series against West Indies, starting July 8, which will also mark the resumption of cricket after the sport was suspended in March due to coronavirus pandemic.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
