Auqib Nabi to Play Three County Championship Matches for Surrey Ahead of New Zealand Tour
Jammu and Kashmir pacer Auqib Nabi is set to join Surrey for a brief County Championship stint starting September 2, ahead of India's tour of New Zealand. Nabi, who was the leading wicket-taker in the recent Ranji Trophy with 60 wickets, aims to gain experience in seamer-friendly English conditions similar to New Zealand. He is expected to play three matches against Yorkshire, Sussex, and Glamorgan. Nabi was part of India's squad for the Sri Lanka Tests but did not play. This stint is seen as preparation for potential inclusion in India's pace attack.
