3 Ranji Trophy 2025–26 bowlers selectors should consider for IND vs AFG Test
India take on Afghanistan in a one-off Test starting June 6.
2) Auqib Nabi - Jammu & Kashmir
With a whopping 104 wickets over the last two Ranji Trophy seasons. Auqib Nabi has by far been the best pacer in the domestic red-ball circuit over the last two years, and calls for a debut with the Indian team have been growing. He picked up 44 wickets in the 2024-25 season, finishing behind leading wicket-taker Harsh Dubey in the charts. In 2025-26, he was a class apart, becoming just the third fast-bowler and seventh overall to finish with over 60 wickets in a Ranji Trophy season.
His performances earned him the Player of the Series award as he spearheaded J&K to their first-ever Ranji Trophy triumph, picking up a five-wicket haul in the final against a high-profile Karnataka side. A disciplined bowler who can move the ball both ways and extract reverse swing, Auqib’s numbers speak for themselves.
