The Board of Control for Cricket in India has named 29-year-old seamer Auqib Nabi as a replacement for Jasprit Bumrah in the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka. Bumrah has been ruled out of the series due to injury, marking the first time Nabi has received a call-up to the national Test squad.
Nabi’s selection follows a strong domestic performance, highlighted by 104 wickets over the last two Ranji Trophy seasons, including 60 wickets during the 2025-26 campaign that helped secure Jammu and Kashmir’s first title. His experience also includes a recent tour of Sri Lanka with the India A squad, where he recorded six wickets across two matches.
