Auqib Nabi, Prince Yadav called up as net bowlers for Afghanistan Test
Auqib Nabi, who was not selected to play in the Afghanistan Test, is one of six bowlers who have joined the Indian team as net bowlers to help them prepare for the match, which will take place in Mullanpur on June 6th.
Besides Nabi, two other quicks in this list are the young and impressive Prince Yadav and Tamil Nadu's Gurjapneet Singh. Prince is also in the India squad for the one-day internationals following this one-off Test, where he quickly established himself in the IPL.
Among the spin picks, off-spinner Saransh Jain packs in some experience. He has taken 181 wickets for Madhya Pradesh in 52 first-class matches. His MP teammate, who is yet to make his red-ball debut in domestic cricket, brings left-arm wrist spin to the India nets while UP's Zeeshan Ansari covers movement the other way with leg break. The wrong one is in the bowling arsenal of both Shivang and Ansari.
Net bowlers picked: Auqib Nabi, Gurjapneet Singh, Prince Yadav, Saransh Jain, Zeeshan Ansari, Shivang Kumar
