Gautam Gambhir Signals Continued Opportunities for Auqib Nabi in Indian ODI Squad

Gautam Gambhir, head coach of the Indian national cricket team, has indicated that Auqib Nabi, the leading wicket-taker in the Ranji Trophy 2025-26, is likely to get more chances to play in One Day Internationals as part of India's preparations for the 2027 ODI World Cup. Nabi debuted in the second match of the ongoing ODI series against the West Indies, and Gambhir suggested he may play in the third match, despite it being a dead rubber. Gambhir emphasized the importance of exposing bowlers to pressure to prepare them for critical matches like the World Cup. He also backed another young bowler, Gurnoor Brar, highlighting the value of experience gained from bowling in tough and challenging situations.
