Jammu and Kashmir's pacer Auqib Nabi made his international debut for India in the second ODI against the West Indies at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Wednesday. He received his debut cap from vice-captain KL Rahul. Nabi is now only the third cricketer from Jammu and Kashmir to represent India, following Parvez Rasool and Umran Malik.
This milestone follows a successful domestic cricket career, with Nabi's standout 2025-26 Ranji Trophy season, where he contributed to Jammu and Kashmir's title win with 60 wickets. He had previously received an India call-up for the Test squad to replace Jasprit Bumrah in Sri Lanka, making him the first player from Kashmir Valley to be part of an India Test team.
Nabi's India ODI debut solidifies his position in cricket in Jammu and Kashmir, where a rising number of players are making their mark at the national level. India leads the three-match series 1-0 after winning the first game by eight wickets.
