Jammu Kashmir Main Strike bowler AQUIB and Yudhvir are one to watch out for.

I am getting Kamboj flashbacks. Looks like a million bucks consistently for a whole season in domestic but somehow doesn't translate into international success. Maybe it points to undisciplined batting by domestic bats. In this case, tired Kntk batters. 

Not many knew Kamboj and he didn't have the body of work to deserve a call. Aquib is kind of breaking the door

Nabi is a very good batter. His innings actually led to j&k winning the semis against bengal. Late order hitting. 42 odd runs. J&k was 230/8 and bengal was looking at a 100 run lead with Shami Akashdeep and Mukesh bowling. He spanked them all and took j&k to 302. Then came back and took 36/4 to end it. This is no way near Kamboj territory. Just see how he got KL Karun and Smaran out today. Unbelievable jaffas.

His FC career avg is 18 with ball..looks amazinh..is anyone else has been in this territory?

[deathmonger]

Give him a debut in the Afghanistan game.

Those deliveries reminded me of Philander. Imagine if he can bowl wobble seam tutored by Siraj

 He instead of Prasidh Krishna in the first test as well as the lords test. We could have won 4-0. He in saf grassy pitches will be handful.

Auqib Nabi deserves an India call up in Tests. He has played 40 FC matches and averages 18! Plus has performed in big matches like the Ranji Trophy final. Give him a shot instead of Prasidh Krishna.

Waise Prasidh also took a 5 fer and 2 wkts so far in 2nd inns.
It's unfortunate that he's playing with other bowlers who are useless..

But Prasidh doesn't average 18 in FC and had plenty of chances at intl level. Auqib Nabi surely deserves a chance ahead of him.

Agree on opportunities for Aaqib. But Prasidh too hasn't been as bad. Taking a 5fer when every other bowler alongside him has been garbage.
My only concern with Aaqib is his lack of pace, his peak speed is 135 and he mostly hovers around late 120s and early 130s. We've seen many bowlers in the past having amazing numbers in domestics getting belt treatment in Internationals (specially in countries like Australia). Vinay Kumar, Bhuvi, Unadkut are some prime examples.

Bhuvi cannot be clubbed with Vinay & Unadkat

You can be the best red-ball bowler in the country. You might have dismantled heavyweights and guided your rookie cricket state to a historic Ranji Trophy triumph. You might have taken the most wickets, stepping up in big matches, but that, by no means, is a confirmed ticket to Team India.

 

That is the kind of message that was given to Jammu and Kashmir pacer Auqib Nabi on Wednesday, May 20, when the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee sat to choose the squad for the one-off Test against Afghanistan.

Auqib Nabi, who has more red-ball wickets last season than Gurnoor Brar has in his entire first-class career, has been sidelined. And decisions like these inevitably raise questions about the value attached to the Ranji Trophy.

 

This is not about pitting Nabi against Brar.The larger question is what message Indian cricket sends to its domestic red-ball specialists.

[tweaker]

If India are entering a difficult transition phase in Test cricket and even extraordinary Ranji Trophy performances in home conditions are not enough to earn a call-up, then the pathway begins to look blurred.

 

Auqib Nabi has just produced one of the finest seasons by an Indian fast bowler in recent Ranji Trophy history. If that still leaves him outside a Test squad against Afghanistan, it is fair to ask what exactly a domestic fast bowler must do to break through.

Pathway is simple bro, from Ranji Trophy to India A... He can't jump ahead of the queue and bypass the system in place.  

He will be selected for India A side in Sri Lanka.  If he delivers he will get into the main side for all important NZ series.

Siraj played many series of A matches for almost 2 years.He was always among wickets.But he was not selected immediately.
