Yashasvi Jaiswal, India’s youthful opener, has stated that he will be available for Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy match against Jammu & Kashmir, which is scheduled to start at the legendary Wankhede Stadium on January 23. With 22 points after five games, Mumbai is presently ranked third in the Elite A group.
The 23-year-old’s choice to play helps both his own preparation for the forthcoming ICC Champions Trophy and Mumbai’s team. With 391 runs in five Test matches, including a century and two half-centuries, Jaiswal was the second-highest run scorer during India’s most recent tour of Australia.
The left-hander’s achievements have been well recognised by both analysts and fans, despite India’s 3-1 series loss. The southpaw has made himself available for Mumbai’s match against Jammu & Kashmir, according to an Indian Express source.
He has let Mumbai coach Omkar Salvi know that he is available for the Ranji Trophy’s upcoming round. The Mumbai team would be chosen by the selection committee in the next few days, according to an MCA official who was cited by Indian Express.
In nine Ranji Trophy games thus far, the youthful player has amassed 833 runs at an average of 59.50, including two fifties and four hundreds.
Rohit Sharma is present for the practice session in Mumbai.
On January 14, Rohit Sharma, the captain of India in Test and One-Day International matches, was seen working out with the Mumbai team at the Wankhede Stadium. For the first time in years, Rohit went to a Ranji Trophy practice. He was spotted batting in the middle alongside Ajinkya Rahane, but there is no official confirmation that he would play in the forthcoming match.
However, because of a rib ailment, Mumbai’s middle-order batsman Sarfaraz Khan would not be able to play. Although the severity of his injury has not yet been determined, the National Cricket Academy will supervise his recuperation.
He has notified us that he would not be participating in the upcoming Ranji Trophy game due to an injury to one of his ribs. The National Cricket Academy will do his medical evaluation and notify us, as he has a contract with the BCCI,” the MCA official continued.
