According to Media Sources, India Test captain Rohit Sharma and young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal have been included in Mumbai’s squad for their upcoming Ranji Trophy match against Jammu and Kashmir. The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) released a statement to announce the decision of the senior selection committee. The Ranji Trophy match against Jammu and Kashmir will be played from January 23 to 26 at MCA Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy, BKC, Mumbai. Rohit and Jaiswal’s inclusion stands out as the most notable inclusion in Mumbai’s 17-player squad. The opening duo was a part of India’s Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which ended earlier this month.
As Per Media Sources, Ajinkya Rahane will continue to play the captain’s role. Opener Angkrish Raghuvanshi has made way for Rohit, indicating that the veteran would play the opener’s role against Jammu & Kashmir. The Indian Test skipper’s last Ranji appearance for Mumbai dates back to November 2015. Rohit blazed his way to 113 in 140 balls against Uttar Pradeh, which ended in a draw. In the Test format, Rohit’s recent performances have raised concerns about his place in the team. During India’s tour of Australia, the seasoned opener managed a mere 31 runs in five innings across three Tests. Meanwhile, Jaiswal has enjoyed a stellar run across all formats. He racked up 293 runs in eight T20Is at an average of 41.85 and two fifties. The young southpaw top-scored for India in international cricket last year and was overall second, with 1,771 runs in 23 matches and 37 innings at an average of 52.08, with three tons and 11 fifties. He last represented Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy in January 2023 before his Test debut against West Indies later that year, managing scores of 0 and 14 against Maharashtra. The match ended in a draw. Shreyas Iyer, who was named in India’s squad for the Champions Trophy, has been on a hot streak of form. He has 452 runs in four matches and five innings at an average of 90.40, with the best score of 233, including two centuries.
Mumbai Squad: Ajinkya Rahane (Captain), Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ayush Mhatre, Shreyas Iyer, Siddhesh Lad, Shivam Dube, Hardik Tamore (WK), Akash Anand (WK), Tanush Kotian, Shams Mulani, Himanshu Singh, Shardul Thakur, Mohit Awasthi, Sylvester Dsouza, Royston Dias, Karsh Kothari.
