Auqib Nabi, the first cricketer from Jammu and Kashmir to be selected for India's Test team, has been named as a replacement for injured pacer Jasprit Bumrah for the upcoming Sri Lanka tour. Known for his mental toughness and consistent bowling, Nabi earned recognition after a strong domestic season. Early in his career, his innocence led him to play for rival camps on the same day. Despite initial family concerns about balancing education and cricket, he persevered to reach the national level.
