Ganguly backs Nabi for England tour selection

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly has urged selectors to pick Jammu and Kashmir pacer Auqib Nabi for the upcoming white-ball tour of England, following his standout performance in the Ranji Trophy final.

Nabi returned figures of 5/54 in 23 overs to dismiss Karnataka for 293, securing a first-innings lead for his side. Ganguly, who shared the post, noted that the tough environment has produced a tough player and suggested England is the ideal place for Nabi to begin his international journey.
