Nabi's selection comes after a remarkable domestic season where he played a key role in Jammu and Kashmir's historic Ranji Trophy triumph. The pacer finished as one of the standout performers, claiming 60 wickets during the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy season. His consistent performances have earned him recognition at the highest level, making him one of the few cricketers from Jammu and Kashmir to receive a senior India call-up.
