BCCI Seeks County Matches for Auqib Nabi Ahead of New Zealand Test Series
The BCCI is arranging for Jammu and Kashmir pacer Auqib Nabi to play a few County Championship matches for Surrey in England ahead of India's upcoming Test series against New Zealand. Nabi, the top wicket-taker in the last Ranji Trophy season, was not selected for recent Tests against Sri Lanka. The BCCI aims to provide him red-ball game experience while Gurnoor Brar participates in the Duleep Trophy. Visa arrangements are underway, with discussions involving Surrey's management. Other Indian players like Manav Suthar and Kuldeep Yadav are also playing county cricket.
