Mayank Agarwal has been given the approval to resume playing in the Ranji Trophy 2024 after being declared healthy.

Mayank Agarwal, the captain of Karnataka, has been given approval for his fitness and is now able to resume playing cricket. He will return to participate in the ongoing 2023–24 Ranji Trophy after being absent in the previous round (fifth) owing to a health emergency.

During the flight from Agartala, after winning the game against Tripura by 29 runs, he ingested a beverage. He experienced a sudden episode of vomiting and was subsequently disembarked from the plane and hospitalized at a hospital in Agartala. After being discharged, the 32-year-old returned to Bengaluru and got a medical examination.

The medical staff has assessed Mayank Agarwal’s physical condition and has recommended that he take a little hiatus before participating in a game. He joined the squad on Monday, February 5th, to captain the team in the southern derby against Tamil Nadu at Chepauk, which begins on February 9th. The captain of the Karnataka team informed ESPNcricinfo that he was in good health and there were no significant problems.

The young player Nikin Jose served as captain of the Karnataka team during his absence. He made a substantial contribution to the team, hitting 107 runs in the second match against Goa in Mysuru, resulting in a draw. Subsequently, Karnataka faced formidable opposition from the railways in Surat. The team was dismissed for a total of 174 runs in the first inning and successfully pursued a target of 226 runs with just one wicket remaining, owing to an undefeated score of 67 runs by Manish Pandey.

Mayank Agarwal has currently amassed 310 runs in seven innings, maintaining an average of 44.28.

He has achieved a century and two half-centuries. Karnataka is presently ranked second in Group C, with a record of two victories, one defeat, and one tie in four matches.

The Karnataka squad consists of Mayank Agarwal as the captain, along with Devdutt Padikkal, R Samarth, Nikin Jose, Manish Pandey, Sharath Srinivas as the wicketkeeper, Aneesh KV, Vyshak Vijayakumar, V Koushik, K Shashikumar, Sujay Sateri as the backup wicketkeeper, M Venkatesh, Vidwath Kaverappa, Kishan Bedare, Rohit Kumar, and Hardik Raj.
