Auqib Nabi may not have made it to India's squad for the one-off Test against Afghanistan, but the talented fast bowler has finally received some recognition for his outstanding performances in domestic cricket. The Jammu & Kashmir pacer has joined the Indian team as a backup player.
The Indian selectors were facing heavy backlash from fans and cricket experts after Nabi was overlooked for Prithvi Yadav for a maiden Test call-up despite delivering consistently strong performances in the Ranji Trophy over the last few seasons.

Following the continuous criticism, Auqib Nabi has been called into the India national cricket team as the backup player. The main aim behind this move is to give Nabi a chance to learn and train alongside international players and understand the demands of Test cricket.
Mohsin Kamal, a journalist, shared on X: “BREAKING: Auqib Nabi joins India’s Test squad for the Afghanistan Test as a backup player. He has been included to gain first-hand experience of the Indian team environment, with an eye on potential inclusion in India’s upcoming tours. #INDvAFG”
