Sarfaraz, who last played for his national team in October last year, has been picked in the 29-member squad for Pakistan's much-awaited tour of England later this year. Pakistan will play three Tests and as many T20Is against England between August 5 to September 1.
"I am positive about the opportunity now and I will give my best whenever I get the chance in order to regain my regular place in the team," Sarfaraz was quoted as saying by GeoSuper.TV.
"I want to make my comeback memorable with a stellar performance for the team. Ups and downs are part and parcel of a player's career.
"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."
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.
"As far as being a back-up wicketkeeper is concerned, I am not worried about being the first or second choice," the veteran wicket-keeper said.
"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."
