Jammu and Kashmir name squad for Irani Cup without Nabi and Charak
Jammu and Kashmir named their Irani Cup squad with Paras Dogra as captain, excluding Nabi and Charak.
Jammu and Kashmir announced their Irani Cup squad on Wednesday with Paras Dogra named as captain. The side will face Rest of India at Sher-i-Kashmir Stadium in Srinagar starting Thursday.
Auqib Nabi and Yudhvir Singh Charak were not included. Nabi is with the Indian ODI team after making his debut against West Indies, while Charak is reportedly injured. Ajay Sharma remains head coach.
Rishabh Pant will lead Rest of India. The J&K squad includes Shubham Khajuria, Qamran Iqbal, Yawer Hassan, Shubham Pundir, Abdul Samad, Kawalpreet Singh, Kanhaiya Wadhawan, Abid Mushtaq, Sahil Lotra, Vanshaj Sharma, Sunil Kumar, Umar Nazir, Lone Nasir Muzaffar and Rohit Sharma.
CricHubb Take
The absence of Nabi and Charak leaves J&K without two players who could have added depth to both batting and bowling. The squad must now rely on its domestic core to compete against a Rest of India side that includes several India regulars regaining red-ball match practice.
