India adds fast bowler Auqib Nabi to its ODI squad for the upcoming series against New Zealand. Multiple outlets report that the change comes ahead of the five-match ODI series and is linked to Prasidh Krishna missing the ODIs.
ESPN Cricinfo and NDTV say Nabi is brought into India’s ODI group and will be part of the squad across the early part of the tour. India Today and Times of India frame the move as Nabi replacing Krishna in the ODI squad, with one outlet specifying that he is set to play the full series.
Times of India additionally provides wider tour context, noting that Nitish Kumar Reddy remains with the ODI squad before joining India A, and that a two-Test series begins on November 19. Across coverage, the common core is the squad replacement and Nabi’s role for the New Zealand ODIs, while the details on which matches are covered and surrounding itinerary elements vary by outlet.
