'Nabi’s Hard Work Has Yielded The Fruit He Deserves': J&K Cricket Fraternity Hails Pacer’s Maiden Test Call-up
Vijay Merchant Trophy Plate Group: The long-standing door for a player from Jammu & Kashmir to reach the Indian men’s Test team was quietly shattered on Monday morning. From the quiet playfields of Sheeri village in Baramulla to being in the highest corridors of the game, Auqib Nabi’s relentless perseverance reached its rightful destination when he was included in the Indian Test squad for the upcoming two-match series in Sri Lanka, starting August 15.
Dubbed as the ‘Baramulla Express’, Nabi got his maiden Test team call-up as a replacement for pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who has been sidelined due to left knee discomfort after picking up the injury in an ODI against England in Cardiff last month.
The blow to Bumrah comes at a crucial juncture for India, whose World Test Championship (WTC) final qualification hopes hang in balance - the Shubman Gill-led team are currently occupying fifth place on the points table. For now, Nabi getting the Test team call-up marks the end of an agonising wait.
