Auqib Nabi to Play Three County Matches for Surrey Ahead of New Zealand Tour
Jammu and Kashmir pacer Auqib Nabi is set to join Surrey for a brief three-match County Championship stint starting September 2, ahead of India's multi-format tour of New Zealand. This opportunity aims to provide Nabi with experience in seamer-friendly English conditions similar to New Zealand's, helping his development in red-ball cricket. Nabi was the leading wicket-taker in the recent Ranji Trophy, contributing to J&K's maiden title. He was part of India's Sri Lanka Test squad but did not play. Post-England, he is expected to join India A for unofficial Tests against Australia A.
