Auqib Nabi Replaces Jasprit Bumrah in India Test Squad

AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

Jammu and Kashmir pacer Auqib Nabi has been named as a replacement for Jasprit Bumrah in the Indian Test squad set to tour Sri Lanka. Nabi’s recent performances in domestic cricket led to his selection. Auqib Nabi claimed 104 wickets across the last two Ranji Trophy seasons, demonstrating consistent performance at the domestic level. Notably, he secured 60 wickets in the 2025-26 campaign, playing a pivotal role in Jammu and Kashmir's first-ever Ranji Trophy triumph.

Nabi’s form extends beyond the Ranji Trophy; he was also recently part of the India A squad that toured Sri Lanka. During this tour, he claimed six wickets in two first-class matches, further showcasing his capabilities with the ball. This recent experience in Sri Lankan conditions may prove valuable for the Indian Test team.
