RAIPUR: In a big boost for Mumbai, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who missed the last two matches due to a bout of gastroenteri- tis, is fit and available for the make or break last Ranji Tro- phy league match against Maharashtra, which will be- gin at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai from January 24.
“The fitness test reports of Yashasvi are ok. He is fit to play as per the Mumbai team’s doctor, Parteki and trainer Vishal Chitrakar. And hence the selectors have agreed mutually to add Yashasvi in the squad,” a source in the MCA told TOI.
Jaiswal will open against Maharashtra with Di vyaansh Saxena, who received his maiden Ranji Trophy call-up, replacing Musheer Khan in the Mumbai squad.
“Musheer has been asked to play the U-25 team’s next match, which starts from Sunday. He got five innings, but couldn’t manage to capitalize on his chances. Divyaansh scored 250 against Saurashtra for the U-25 team against Saurashtra in the Col CK Nayudu Trophy recently. That kind of form can’t be ignored. With Prithvi (Shaw) not available (he will be with the Indian T20 side for the home series against New Zealand), Mumbai need someone to provide them with a good start to their innings,” a source told TOI.
On Friday, Mumbai lost their penultimate Ranji Trophy league game to Delhi by eight wickets. They have 23 points after six games, and must score at least a first in- nings lead win over Maharashtra to harbor any hopes of qualifying for the knockouts.
Squad: Ajinkya Rahane (C) Ta- nush Kotian, Hardik Tamore (WK), Yashavi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan, Tushar Deshpande, Shams Mulani, Armaan Jaffer, Shashank Attarde, Mohit Awasthi, Divyaansh Saxena, Royston Dias, Prasad Pawar, Suved Parkar, Siddharth Raut, Dhrumil Matkar, Deepak Shetty.
