Overview
- Munaf Patel, speaking Wednesday before the Gujarat Titans game, said Delhi has not found a slot for the uncapped fast bowler yet.
- Patel said Nabi is match-ready and will play in a game where Delhi does not use an extra batter as the Impact Player, a rule that allows a mid-match substitute.
- He praised Nabi’s work in training, noting the pacer regularly bowls 10 to 12 overs in the nets and often asks to bowl more.
- Nabi arrived off a standout Ranji Trophy run with 60 wickets and a decisive spell in Jammu and Kashmir’s maiden title win over Karnataka.
- Patel said Nabi is building variations to handle IPL hitters, explaining that even good balls can go for runs against this level of batting.
