MUMBAI: Jammu and Kashmir swing bowler Auqib Nabi was finally rewarded for his consistent performances in domestic cricket on Monday, being named the replacement for the injured Jasprit Bumrah in Indias Test squad for the two-match series in Sri Lanka.The 29-year-old has earned his maiden India call-up and if he makes his Test debut, will become the first cricketer from J&K to play a Test match for India.It marks a remarkable rise for the Baramulla seamer, who did not even own a pair of bowling spikes when he attended his first under-19 trials and had to borrow them from a friend.Nabi has taken a staggering 104 wickets across the last two Ranji Trophy seasons, including 60 at an astonishing average of 12.56 in the 2025-26 campaign, when he played a pivotal role in J&Ks maiden Ranji Trophy triumph. He also impressed on the recent India A tour of Sri Lanka, claiming six wickets in two fourday matches, including figures of 4-58 in the first innings of the opening game.Named player of the tournament in the Ranji Trophy, Nabi registered seven five-wicket hauls last season. His standout performances included 5-54 in the final against Karnataka, match figures of 9-123 in the semifinal against Bengal and 12-110 in the quarterfinal against Madhya Pradesh.Former India allrounder Irfan Pathan believes Nabi has thoroughly earned his opportunity.Its not just about last season. Nabi has been performing consistently for a while now and Im confident hell do well if he gets an opportunity. Sri Lanka usually offers seamers a bit of assistance, especially in humid conditions, Pathan told TOI.Pathan also welcomed the selectors rewarding domestic performers such as Nabi and Madhya Pradesh off-spinning allrounder Saransh Jain. Its recognition for domestic cricket. Test cricket should reward consistent performances in the Ranji Trophy and Duleep Trophy, he said.Having mentored J& K during his coaching stint, Pathan explained what makes Nabi so effective.His action is compact and repeatable, allowing him to hit the seam consistently, Pathan said. His biggest strength is his seam position. Because its so upright, the ball moves late after pitching and forces batters to play. Thats why he has troubled even top domestic batters.Pathan also believes Nabis experience of bowling long spells in first-class cricket will ease his transition to Test cricket. He bowls long spells regularly, so his body is used to that workload. Thats a big advantage. Now its about making the most of the opportunity. To those questioning Nabis pace, Pathan offered a blunt response. How much pace do you want? If youre dismissing batters while bowling in the 130s by making them play defensively, youre doing something right. Control and late movement are what matter. 132850120Former India allrounder Parvez Rasool, the first cricketer from J& K to represent India in international cricket, congratulated Nabi on social media. What is meant for you will find you. No amount of rejection or ignorance can change your destiny. Heartiest congratulations, Auqib Nabi, on your well-deserved selection to the Indian Test squad.

Everton considering RB Leipzig right-back Ridle BakuEverton are considering a move for RB Leipzig right-back Ridle Baku, according to The Athletic. Everton manager David Moyes is exploring other targets for the priority position at the Hill Dickinson Stadium club, and the Germany international has attracted the Toffees. The 28-year-old brings year of experience to the table having spent nine seasons in the Bundesliga, making 248 appearances. Baku has weighed in with 24 goals and 26 assists since then, and he could be perfect for Everton.The German can also play on the right wing and in the middle of tle park, and Moyes is a fan of versatile players. Passing, playing through balls, holding on to the ball and defensive contributions are some of Bakus biggest strengths. He led the entire Bundesliga with 1031 sprints in 2024-26 and was third in the rankings last term with 739 sprints. The Everton target is a hardworking player, and he has what it takes to succeed in the Premier League.

NEW YORK Around Yankees Universe, what resonated in the immediate aftermath of this MLB trade deadline period is what they didnt get.There was no right-handed hitting catcher or impact reliever coming to the Bronx.By Mondays 6 p.m. (EDT) finish, the Yankees had secured right-handed hitting outfielder Heliot Ramos fro the Giants for two promising prospects.That deal followed Sundays trade with the Nationals for lefty-hitting first baseman/DH Luis Garcia Jr., and thats all the outside-the-organization help toward the Yankees 2026 pennant push.Limited opportunities and high price tags influenced the Yanks decisions, according to GM Brian Cashman.But other clubs, especially those within the tightening AL East Division, acted boldly Monday and hauled in some marquee names like the Boston Red Sox landing catcher Adley Rutschman while the Yanks passed.Its always tough to find matches, but we stayed engaged fully in one of the first areas of need, which was to try to upgrade the offense in any waywe can while waiting for important players to come back form the injured list.Exactly when Aaron Judge (fractured rib) will resume baseball activity is still up in the air, as is the return status of Giancarlo Stanton (calf strain), while Cody Bellinger (hamstring strain) isnt due back until early September. Obtaining Heliot Ramos, Luis Garcia Jr. Ben Rice isnt moving part-time to catcher from first baseman/DH to accommodate Garcia, who started at first base Monday vs. St. Louis, with Rice at DH.Cashman sees Rice as best served in the capacity hes served this year, while Ramos - who can play all three outfield spots - is going to be playing extensively in August against right and left-handed pitching.In the Ramos deal, lefty pitcher Henry Lalane (No. 5) was the highest ranked prospect traded by Cashman at the deadline, going to San Francisco along with infielder Kaeden Kent (No. 13), the son of Hall-of-Famer Jeff Kent.Cashman on Yankees' catching pursuitCashman said it wasnt for lack of trying or interest, but todays Yankees catching corps is still the .161-hitting Austin Wells (.537 OPS) and righty-hitting backup Ali Sanchez.We do believe we have quality catching, but obviously the offensive side which has been a struggle for our team overall made us shop I that aisle, said Cashman.However, the GM called it a very thin market of opportunity to improve, despite having several conversations with Baltimore about Rutschman.Right-handed hitting Cincinnati Reds catcher and impending free agent Tyler Stephenson wasnt moved, and his subpar graded pitch-framing might have mitigated his offensive impact though the Yanks have received next-to-nothing in production at catcher.Cashman on Yankees' bullpen pursuitUltimately, the Yankees traded two relievers not in their late season plans in Jake Bird and Camilo Doval and moved the promising Yovanny Cruz in the Garcia deal.But an expectation of importing several new bullpen arms as the Yanks did at last years deadline came up empty.We definitely engaged the market said Cashman, who also found the inventory of high-end relievers to be lacking.At the same time, Cashman suggested the Yanks current depth could provide a boost, with starters Carlos Rodon (elbow) and Clarke Schmidt (TJ surgery rehab) on track to return in the next few weeks.Injured righty Carlos Lagrange (shoulder impingement) is "possible but unlikely'' to return in 2026.If everyone else remains healthy, that provides a chance to push a real quality high-end starter that we currently possess into the pen, such as Will Warren or Ryan Weathers. But that did not preclude us from trying to secure something in the market place that was high-end regardless.George Lombard Jr. gets the call Cashman didnt see a lot of opportunities that were upgrades for us, including at shortstop.Hours later, the Yankees called up prospect George Lombard Jr., whose potential to impact the Yankees pennant race this month had to have influenced the team's deadline strategy. Cashman has previously touted Lombards big-league readiness defensively, and now Lombard - having hit well since his Triple-A promotion earlier this season - will get some immediate run.Yankees discussed Tarik SkubalCashman engaged the Tigers on ace lefty Tarik Skubal, who ultimately went to the Dodgers for three prospects.Feel like we really didnt match up in the end, said Cashman, with Detroit making some asks our way that we werent willing to do, including one unnamed untouchable prospect.And even then, Cashman says he was told by Detroit that it might not win the day over what it ultimately received from the Dodgers.This article originally appeared on NorthJersey.com: Yankees' MLB trade deadline period misses the mark
