BCCI Arranges County Cricket Stint for Auqib Nabi Ahead of New Zealand Test Series
The BCCI is arranging a short-term county cricket stint in England for Jammu and Kashmir pacer Auqib Nabi to prepare him for India's upcoming Test series in New Zealand. Despite being the top wicket-taker in the last Ranji Trophy, Nabi was not selected for recent Tests against Sri Lanka. Surrey is reportedly interested in signing him for two to three red-ball matches. The BCCI is also managing his UK visa to facilitate this opportunity, aiming to provide Nabi valuable match practice ahead of the New Zealand tour.
