29岁的全能型板球手奥基布·纳比成为克什米尔地区首位获得印度Test队征召的板球运动员[1]。他将在2025年8月15日对阵斯里兰卡的两场比赛中出战，替换受伤的贾斯普里特·布姆拉[1]。
纳比来自克什米尔巴拉穆拉地区，其父亲古拉姆·纳比·达尔是一名教师[1]。为了追求板球梦想，他每天往返于巴拉穆拉和斯里那加之间进行训练，距离约70公里[1]。在克服了恶劣的基础设施和地方冲突等困难后，经过十年的刻苦训练，纳比在2024-25年度Ranji Trophy赛季中取得了60个三柱门的成绩，最终获得了这一历史性的机会[1]。在近期的IPL拍卖中，他以8400万卢比的合同金额被征募[1]。
克什米尔自1957年加入印度板球委员会以来，一直在等待第一位Test运动员的诞生[1]。这次征召标志着克什米尔板球发展的重要里程碑。
Auqib Nabi, a 29-year-old all-rounder from Kashmir's Baramulla region, has made history as the first cricketer from the region to be selected for India's Test squad [1]. He will replace the injured Jasprit Bumrah in the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka beginning on August 15, 2025 [1].
Nabi's selection represents a landmark achievement for Kashmir cricket, which has been part of the Board of Control for Cricket in India since 1957 [1]. His rise comes after a decade of dedicated training and a standout performance in the 2024-25 Ranji Trophy season, where he took 60 wickets across 10 matches [1]. The journey from his home in Baramulla to training facilities in Srinagar, a distance of approximately 70 kilometers, underscores the obstacles he overcame to reach this level [1]. His father, Ghulam Nabi Dar, works as a schoolteacher [1]. Nabi also secured an IPL contract valued at 84 million rupees, equivalent to £730,000 or $982,000 [1].
