Irani Cup | Dogra backs J&K’s pace stock in Nabi’s absence

Ahead of the Irani Cup fixture, Jammu and Kashmir skipper Paras Dogra addressed the absence of fast bowler Auqib Nabi, who unexpectedly received his maiden India cap from K.L. Rahul in Guwahati around the same time.

Dogra acknowledged Nabi's pivotal role in their recent Ranji Trophy success following a sixty-wicket season, but expressed full confidence in the team's remaining fast-bowling depth. He highlighted performers such as Sunil Kumar, who claimed thirty-one wickets previously, alongside a ready and motivated Umar Nazir and other emerging pacers.
