Jammu and Kashmir seamer Auqib Nabi has been named as a replacement for the injured Jasprit Bumrah in the Indian squad for the upcoming two-match Test tour of Sri Lanka. This selection marks the first time a player from the Kashmir valley has been included in India's Test cricket squad.
The call-up is being attributed to a personal philosophy centered on discipline and accountability, described as having 'no excuses' for those aspiring to play for the national team. This approach has been identified as a key factor in the development of the bowler's career leading up to his maiden selection.
