India Reward Auqib Nabi with Long-Awaited National Call-Up
Auqib Nabi has been finally rewarded with his performances in domestic cricket. After proving himself with each passing game, he has been named in the Indian team for the tour of Sri Lanka. He replaces Jasprit Bumrah, who has been ruled out of the series due to an injury.
Hard work pays off will be the quote of the day, as Auqib Nabi has officially made it to the Indian team. The selectors were being questioned by the fans to a great extent for his exclusion. But not anymore, as he has been named as a replacement in the Indian team in the tour of Sri Lanka.
Jasprit Bumrah was set to be available subject to his fitness clearance. Unfortunately, he didn't make it to the series against Sri Lanka, which means Mohammed Siraj will now be leading the bowling line-up of the Indian team. At the same time, the BCCI also had to name someone who could replace Bumrah in the squad.
Reports claimed that it will be Auqib Nabi, and this time, the reports have turned out to be true. After a dominant run in the Ranji Trophy, which eventually helped Jammu and Kashmir to win the title, he has finally been able to make it to the Indian team.
Our Take
Auqib Nabi being picked in the Indian team feels like a personal win to not just one, but many cricket fans. He has been delivering consistently for the team in the domestic circuit and now he has finally made it to the Indian team. However, fans will still hope that he gets to make his debut in the series against Sri Lanka, otherwise it will be yet another long wait for him.
