Jammu and Kashmir paceman Auqib Nabi Dar has been drafted by team management alongside five other players to serve as net bowlers ahead of the upcoming solitary Test against Afghanistan, scheduled to begin on June 6.
In addition to Auqib, Uttar Pradesh's slender leg-spinner Zeeshan Ansari, who represents Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL, has been brought into the camp to help the batting lineup prepare for Afghanistan’s wrist-spin options. The remaining domestic bowlers drafted in for the training sessions include left-arm wrist spinner Shivang Kumar, left-arm speedster Gurjapneet Singh, breakout IPL star Prince Yadav, and off-spinner Saransh Jain.
