'Nabis Hard Work Has Yielded The Fruit He Deserves': J&K Cricket Fraternity Hails Pacers Maiden Test Call-up

Vijay Merchant Trophy Plate Group: The long-standing door for a player from Jammu & Kashmir to reach the Indian mens Test team was quietly shattered on Monday morning. From the quiet playfields of Sheeri village in Baramulla to being in the highest corridors of the game, Auqib Nabis relentless perseverance reached its rightful destination when he was included in the Indian Test squad for the upcoming two-match series in Sri Lanka, starting August 15. Dubbed as the Baramulla Express, Nabi got his maiden Test team call-up as a replacement for pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who has been sidelined due to left knee discomfort after picking up the injury in an ODI against England in Cardiff last month. The blow to Bumrah comes at a crucial juncture for India, whose World Test Championship (WTC) final qualification hopes hang in balance - the Shubman Gill-led team are currently occupying fifth place on the points table. For now, Nabi getting the Test team call-up marks the end of an agonising wait. Despite dominating the domestic circuit over the past two seasons by picking an astonishing 104 wickets, including a 60-wicket campaign that propelled Jammu & Kashmir to a historic maiden Ranji Trophy title earlier this year, the right-arm pacer, also a useful lower-order batter, was continuously passed over. His exclusion from Indias squad for the one-off Test against Afghanistan in New Chandigarh triggered widespread outrage, as cricket-loving netizens were majorly critical of the selectors for overlooking the domestic season's top wicket-taker. But Nabi, whose recent First-Class outing in Galle for India A saw him pick six scalps was still on top of the selectors' minds when an opening emerged. Nabis selection makes him the first player from Jammu & Kashmir to be selected in the Indian Test team. In all, hes the third player from the state to be in the national set-up after Parvez Rasool and Umran Malik played white-ball games for India. The news of Nabi earning a Test squad inclusion has sparked jubilation in Jammu & Kashmir. Sunil Kumar, the left-arm pacer and Nabis new-ball partner in domestic cricket, was all smiles on hearing the news of his partners call-up via a WhatsApp group. I am very happy for him because he is a person whos very down-to-earth. He is a very hardworking person. Today, his hard work has yielded the fruit he truly deserves. I talked to him when he was with India A team in Sri Lanka. It was a normal conversation and right now, only congratulations and stuff like that has happened, he said to IANS on Monday. Sunil also sees Nabis elevation to the Test team as a watershed moment for cricketers growing up in Jammu & Kashmir and aspiring to play for the country. This is the first time that a guy from the state has gone to the Test Team. With the way our team was playing, especially in the past 2 years, we used to talk about who will break the barrier of getting into the national Test team and the person whose name always came first in this regard was of Auqib bhai. Now, we all can see that he has achieved it. So, everyone here will get a boost as now that door is open, which was closed for a long time. More players and more talent can come out of J&K and they can achieve their ultimate goal. While transitioning to the highest level brings intense scrutiny, Sunil remains confident that Nabis temperament will be his greatest asset whenever he gets to make a potential Test debut in Sri Lanka. Auqib bhai will do well. There is no doubt about it because he is mentally tough. He knows that no matter what the conditions are, no matter how difficult a situation it is, he doesn't care. He knows that he has to come and bowl well in his areas to get the batters dismissed. I mean, he has the gumption and ability, as well as the awareness, to know that he can perform well at the Test level. Mentally, he is very tough. For Muzaffar Mattoo, a BCCI-qualified coach who was the head coach of the under-16 team winning the Vijay Merchant Trophy Plate Group in 2025/26 season, seeing Nabi rise from a local club cricketer in Baramulla to the Indian Test team is the ultimate reward of years of hard work. It's a great moment for all of us and for the whole of Jammu & Kashmir. So we are delighted enough that Auqib has got a call-up for Team India and we hope that he will deliver the same form which he has already delivered in the Ranji Trophy. It's never late to get a call-up and we hope that he carries the same form there in Sri Lanka. The selectors felt that this is the right time for him. So we are all excited, we are all delighted and we hope all the best happens with Auqib, he told IANS. Recalling the early days when he first spotted a young Nabi and got him to play for Baramulla Cricket Club, Mattoo remembered recognising an innate spark that set him apart long before he made headlines on the domestic circuit. It was way back in 2010 when I picked him up, as that was the time he would play in his backyard. He used to play in my club. Then I used to coach him also during under-19 and under-23 days We went there to his backyard, saw him and picked him there only and got him in our club. From there, he got a break, and much-needed exposure. He played club cricket and later represented the state. He had that flair from the very beginning. I talked to him yesterday. I said, Fingers crossed. Let's hope that you will get a call-up from Team India, and hes got it now. After the Vijay Merchant Trophy win, we got the Ranji Trophy triumph and now Auqib earned selection in the Indian Test team. So, cricket fortunes are rolling well in Jammu and Kashmir. While reaching the Test team is a milestone, breaking into the playing eleven remains a competitive hurdle. With fellow pacer Gurnoor Brar also in the squad alongside Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna and Sri Lankas subcontinental tracks favouring spin, India are expected to field just two primary seamers. I said, Fingers crossed. Let's hope that you will get a call-up from Team India, and hes got it now. After the Vijay Merchant Trophy win, we got the Ranji Trophy triumph and now Auqib earned selection in the Indian Test team. So, cricket fortunes are rolling well in Jammu and Kashmir. Also Read: Live Cricket Score As Nabi prepares to leave for Sri Lanka with the Indian team on Tuesday, Sunils parting advice is simple: trust the process that propelled him to be in the Test set-up. I would like to tell him to do what he has been doing. Its easy - he has to do what he has been doing. Nothing new has to be done, and we know that he will do it, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

Investigation Across 100 plus Dairy Units in Six States Highlights Systemic Animal Welfare and Public Health Concerns

Sentient World today released the findings of a first-of-its-kind multi-state investigation into dairy operations across India, documenting widespread animal welfare, public health, and environmental concerns across more than 100 dairy units in Chandigarh, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Bihar, West Bengal, and Chhattisgarh. Conducted between 10 February and 15 April 2026 , the investigation examined a diverse range of dairy operations, from household-level farms to medium-scale facilities and large unregulated dairy clusters. The investigation found that poor animal welfare and unhygienic dairy practices were not isolated incidents but recurring patterns across locations. Many dairy units were operating in residential neighbourhoods or near public spaces, often within 10 to 300 metres of homes and water bodies, raising concerns about public health, environmental contamination and regulatory compliance. Investigators documented overcrowding across a majority of facilities, with animals routinely subjected to prolonged tethering, including double and triple tethering and, in many cases, restraint through the nose or mouth. Dairy units housed anywhere between 10 and 500 animals, with an average of approximately 50 animals per unit. The report records widespread evidence of compromised animal welfare, including malnutrition, untreated wounds, swollen joints, skin infections and behavioural signs of distress. Calves were frequently found tethered for extended periods, often without adequate shelter, while investigators documented multiple instances of Khal baccha practices used to stimulate milk let-down. Indications of oxytocin use, including visible bottles, syringes and admissions by some dairy operators, were also recorded during the investigation. Investigators further observed that milking was commonly carried out in highly unhygienic conditions, often adjacent to open drains, sewage and accumulated waste. Milk was frequently stored in open containers, while manure and slurry were routinely discharged into open drains. In several locations, improper carcass disposal and dairy waste management practices pointed to broader environmental and public health risks. The investigation also highlighted systemic challenges facing the sector. Across multiple states, dairy owners reported inadequate access to veterinary care, vaccination programmes, insurance and government support. These findings, coupled with inconsistent enforcement of existing regulations, suggest significant gaps in oversight and accountability. Key Observations 100 plusdairy units investigated across six states between 10 February and 15 April 2026. Dairy operations ranged from 10 to 500 animals, averaging around 50 animals per unit. Overcrowding and prolonged tethering, including double and triple tethering, were commonly documented. 2 instances of Khal baccha practices and 90 per cent of units used oxytocin In urban areas, 70-80% of dairy units are close to residential areas, and around 5-10% units are close to water bodies in cities. In rural areas, 40-60% of the dairy units work close to residential areas, similar to cities, and around 20% are close to water bodies in villages. Established operational patterns: Similar husbandry, milking and waste management practices were observed across multiple locations, indicating standardized operational methods rather than isolated occurrences. Limited regulatory monitoring: There was little evidence of regular inspections or timely corrective action, suggesting gaps in routine enforcement. Gaps in farmer support systems: Limited access to veterinary care, training and institutional support appears to contribute to poor welfare and management practices. Low accountability: Inadequate oversight allows non-compliance with existing animal welfare standards to continue with few consequences. Cross-state consistency: The recurrence of similar findings across different states indicates that these challenges are widespread rather than location-specific. Need for stronger implementation: Existing regulations require more consistent implementation, monitoring and accountability to drive meaningful improvements in animal welfare. Investigation videos- youtu.be/8G-YPiSSPbE youtu.be/es7xD-IpAII This investigation demonstrates that poor animal welfare and unhygienic dairy practices are not isolated incidents but systemic issues observed across multiple states where we conducted our investigations. The findings highlight the urgent need for stronger implementation of existing laws, better oversight and greater accountability to safeguard animal welfare, public health and environmental standards," said Abhishek Pandey, CEO, Sentient World . Following the investigation, Sentient World calls for stronger implementation of existing animal welfare, environmental and public health regulations governing dairy operations. The organisation also urges regular inspections of dairy units, improved veterinary support for farmers, and greater accountability to address practices that compromise animal welfare and hygiene. About Sentient World Sentient World is an organisation working to document and expose animal welfare concerns through evidence-based investigations, research and public awareness initiatives. By bringing credible documentation to light, the organisation seeks to strengthen accountability and encourage meaningful improvements in animal welfare standards across sectors.
