The Indian selectors have made some bold calls for the upcoming one-off Test. Gill will continue as captain, while KL Rahul has been named his deputy. Jasprit Bumrah has been rested as part of workload management for the Afghanistan series – both Test and ODIs.
The debate took the stunning turn after former India batter Suresh Raina said tha Auqib Nabi’s consistent performances in domestic cricket deserved Test call-up. Nabi played important role in Jammu and Kashmir’s the Ranji Trophy victory, taking 60 wickets in 17 innings.
Raina boldly claimed that Shubman Gill may have played a role in Nabi’s exclusion as he would certainly have had a say in the type of bowlers he wanted for the upcoming one-off Test against Afghanistan, starting on June 6 in New Chandigarh.
Ranji Trophy performance ignored in Auqib Nabi’s case?
Nabi has been one of the most consistent fast bowlers in the Ranji Trophy over the last few seasons and has delivered strong performances for Jammu and Kashmir. That is why his continued absence from the Indian setup has left many questioning the selection process.
Gurnoor Brar gets the nod over Auqib Nabi in surprising call
Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee has given a chance to tall pacer Gurnoor Brar over Auqib Nabi. Brar is a 6’5 fast bowler who has shown promise, but questions are being raised about his consistency compared to Nabi.
In terms of numbers, Brar has played 18 matches and taken 52 wickets, which looks decent on paper, but his lack of regular game time over the last few years led many to question his selection. In the last 3-4 years, Brar has played only one full domestic season for Punjab, where he picked up 27 wickets in 7 matches. The rest of his appearances have not come regularly.
