Former India captain Sourav Ganguly has backed Jammu & Kashmir pacer Auqib Nabi for a national call-up ahead of India’s white-ball tour of England in July 2026, following Nabi’s standout performance in the Ranji Trophy 2025-26 final. Ganguly praised the 29-year-old’s impressive five-wicket haul and overall season, emphasising that English conditions suit fast bowlers and could be the ideal stage for him to debut. Nabi’s domestic dominance has sparked debate about India’s selection strategy, with many viewing this as a strong case for his inclusion in the squad. (PC: X)
