Why Aquib Nabi Dar Not Selected In test Squad❌ Ajeet Agarkar Big Statement 💯

Chief selector Ajit Agarkar clarified that while Auqib Nabi's phenomenal domestic performances (60 wickets in the Ranji Trophy) were discussed, he was ultimately left out because team management didn't require a large number of seamers in home Test conditions, prompting selectors to pick Gurnoor Brar instead.

Agarkar's full rationale and the resulting fallout have generated significant debate:

Agarkar’s Rationale
Team Balance: Agarkar explained that when picking a Test squad in India, teams do not typically choose a large number of seamers, preferring to rely on spin.
 While acknowledging that Nabi had an incredible season for Jammu & Kashmir, the committee chose uncapped Punjab pacer Gurnoor Brar as the backup instead.
 Agarkar publicly stated, "He was close... There is always a chat around someone who has done well the last couple of seasons." 
Public and Expert Backlash
The decision to ignore Nabi—who picked up over 100 wickets across two stellar Ranji seasons and led J&K to a historic title win—sparked intense criticism from former players and fans:"""
 Former India captain and selector slammed the decision as "absolutely absurd" and "injustice," questioning the value of grinding out domestic seasons if top wicket-takers are continuously overlooked.
The former India cricketer also criticized the justifications given by the selection committee, stating that such snubs send the wrong message to young domestic players across the country. ""
