BCCI adds Auqib Nabi to India squad for first three New Zealand ODIs after Prasidh Krishna injury

The BCCI has officially added Jammu and Kashmir fast bowler Auqib Nabi to India's squad for the first three ODIs against New Zealand. Nabi replaces pacer Prasidh Krishna, who suffered a hamstring injury during the second ODI against the West Indies in Guwahati. Although Nabi was initially selected only for the fourth and fifth matches, the selection committee decided to include him from the start of the series.

Shubman Gill will captain the side for the opening three ODIs before Shreyas Iyer takes over the captaincy for the final two games. Despite a tough ODI debut against the West Indies in September 2026, Nabi earned his early promotion after impressing with six wickets across two innings for India A against New Zealand A in Lincoln.
