Nabi Should Have Gotten A Chance To Be In Squad For Test Against Afghanistan, Says Raina
With Harshit Rana: Former India batter Suresh Raina has said Jammu and Kashmir pacer Auqib Nabi should have been given a chance in the Test squad for the one-off match against Afghanistan, though he also felt captain Shubman Gill’s inputs could have shaped the final look of the bowling attack.
With Harshit Rana and Akash Deep ruled out due to varied injuries and ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah rested, Nabi - one of the standout performers of the Ranji Trophy season, where he led Jammu and Kashmir to victory by picking 60 scalps, was widely tipped to get a maiden Test call‑up.
But the selectors opted for lanky Punjab pacer Gurnoor Brar as the back‑up fast bowling option to join Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna in the squad, meaning that Nabi, who has 104 wickets in the last two Ranji Trophy seasons, will have to wait for his chance to be in the Test team.
