Early signs
Nabi took his birth in Logar Province in Afghanistan, but his family migrated to Peshawar in Pakistan, fleeing from the Soviet–Afghan War. He had begun his career path in playing cricket in Peshawar at an early age of 10, and his family moved back to Afghanistan in 2000, where he began playing cricket with Mohammad Shahzad, Asghar Afghan and Shapoor Zadran, all of whom would later become important members of the Afghan national team.

And its true, as whoever want to build a base be it balling, fielding or wicket keeping, has to do the net practice that is followed before going to the pitch".
IPL career
He was the first Afghan cricketer to have been picked up by an IPL team rightly so. Sunrisers realized they had made a steal by pocketing 30 lakhs of a priceless commodity.
