Shardul Thakur and Yashasvi Jaiswal are back in action, named in Mumbai’s 16-member squad for the Ranji Trophy quarterfinal against Karnataka, starting February 6.
Thakur had missed recent matches due to injury, while the reason behind Jaiswal’s absence remained unclear, even to the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA). The MCA was reportedly displeased that Jaiswal skipped matches despite being free of international duties.
Mumbai, 42-time Ranji champions, will field: Shardul Thakur (capt), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Musheer Khan, Akhil Herwadkar, Siddesh Lad, Sarfaraz Khan, Aakash Anand (WK), Hardik Tamore (WK), Sairaj Patil, Shams Mulani, Tanush Kotian, Tushar Deshpande, Mohit Awasth, Omkar Tarmale, Divyesh Saxena, and Suryansh Shedge.
