After his return to the Pakistan side for the Test series against New Zealand in December 2022-January 2023, Sarfaraz Ahmed showcased exceptional form, earning the Player of the Series award for his outstanding batting performance.

The ongoing debate over who should be the first-choice wicketkeeper-batsman for the team has fueled speculation, but Sarfaraz Ahmed is quick to put an end to such talk, emphasizing a harmonious relationship with Rizwan.
He went on to criticize social media users, stating, “The current Pakistan team is very well united. All the players share a brotherly bond, and there is no animosity between us. The hate exists only among people on social media who have nothing better to do in their lives, leading them to write unnecessary things.”
