Auqib Nabi Added To India Squad First Three ODIs Against New Zealand (PTI)

India have added Auqib Nabi to the squad for the first three ODIs against New Zealand. The right-arm pacer was initially included in the squad for the final two ODIs, but will now be in the squad for the entire series. The development comes after pacer Prasidh Krishna was ruled out of the ODI series due to an injury. Krishna was earlier included in the India squad for the first three matches, subject to fitness. The pacer now is likely to join the India A squad for the third unofficial Test against New Zealand A to prepare for the two-match Test series.

Nabi made his ODI debut during the ODI series against the West Indies after gaining limelight for his stunning returns for Jammu and Kashmir in the Ranji Trophy.

“The Men’s Selection Committee has added Auqib Nabi to the squad for the first three ODIs against New Zealand. The right-arm pacer, who was initially in the squad for the fourth and fifth ODIs of the series, will be a part of the Indian squad from the start of the ODI series," BCCI stated in a release.
