Following a successful Ranji Trophy season where he was the leading wicket-taker, Indian fast bowler Auqib Nabi entered discussions with English county clubs to secure a short-term red-ball contract. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) sought to facilitate this move to provide Nabi with match practice before India’s Test tour of New Zealand in November 2026. Surrey County Cricket Club ~~subsequently~~ signed ~~Nabi~~ the 29-year-old seamer for three County Championship Division One matches during the 2026 season run-in. Nabi’s recent professional background includes being part of the India A squad, serving as a replacement for Jasprit Bumrah in India’s Test series against Sri Lanka, and being signed by the Delhi Capitals for Rs 8.4 crore during the 2026 IPL auction. Nabi made his debut for Surrey against Yorkshire on September 2, 2026. In a low-scoring match, he claimed one wicket in each innings, dismissing Kuldeep Yadav in the first and James Wharton in the second. Following Yorkshire’s second-innings dismissal for 82, Surrey was set a target of 185 runs to win. At the close of Day 2, Surrey reached 27/0, requiring 158 more runs for victory. His remaining scheduled ~~appearances include~~ fixtures include matches against ~~Yorkshire, Glamorgan,~~ Glamorgan and Sussex.
