Auqib Nabi Replaces Injured Jasprit Bumrah in India Test Squad for Sri Lanka Series
India's premier fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the two-Test series against Sri Lanka starting August 15 due to a left knee injury sustained during the England ODI series. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has named Jammu and Kashmir pacer Auqib Nabi as his replacement, marking Nabi's maiden senior India call-up. Nabi earned the selection after impressive domestic performances, including 104 wickets over the last two Ranji Trophy seasons and a key role in Jammu and Kashmir's maiden Ranji Trophy victory.
