Indian domestic cricket is at a very high level – Auqib Nabi

Auqib Nabi claimed his first international wicket in the second ODI between India and New Zealand, removing Tim Seifert in Wellington. He then doubled his tally with the crucial scalp of Will Young, eventually concluding with figures of 7-0-31-2.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference ahead of the fourth ODI, Nabi opened up on how playing Indian domestic cricket has been a massive guide for him all along. He emphasized on the quality of India’s domestic cricket while also highlighting the similarities in the conditions of the two countries.

Shedding light on India’s domestic circuit, Nabi said, “It has been a massive advantage because Indian domestic cricket is at a very high level. If you are doing well in the Indian domestic circuit, then you will also be doing well in the international circuit.”

He further added, “The weather that we have now in New Zealand is somewhat similar to the one that we have now have in India. The main difference is between the international and domestic levels.”

Nabi concluded by talking about the opportunity to represent India, stating, “I am really happy to represent my country. It has always been my dream. This is a good opportunity for any new incoming talent and showcase themselves to the world.”
