Auqib Nabi Joins Team India Before Afghanistan Test, but Here's Why He Cannot Play
The Jammu & Kashmir pacer is among seven net bowlers added as India manage fast-bowler workloads and sharpen batting practice.
- The BCCI called Jammu & Kashmir pacer Auqib Nabi to join India nets ahead of the one-off Test against Afghanistan at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur.
- India added six net bowlers after BCCI sources reported that premier fast bowlers Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna cannot train at full intensity following three gruelling games in seven days.
- Nabi earned selection after taking 60 wickets in 17 innings for Jammu & Kashmir; he joins fellow net bowlers Gurjapneet Singh, Prince Yadav, Saransh Jain, Zeeshan Ansari, and Shivang Kumar.
- The one-off Test sits outside the World Test Championship cycle, while chief selector Ajit Agarkar previously defended the squad selection by noting limited pacer slots.
- Following the Test, India and Afghanistan will transition to a three-match ODI series, with matches scheduled on June 13, 17 and 20 in Dharamsala, Lucknow and Chennai.
