Good news for Mumbai cricket: star batter Yashasvi Jaiswal is cleared to play and will rejoin the Mumbai squad for their Vijay Hazare Trophy fixture against Goa on December 31st. Jaiswal had to miss the team’s opening two matches in Jaipur while recovering from a severe case of acute gastroenteritis. Confirmed by the Mumbai Cricket Association, he will be joining the team a day or two before the match. This return is a significant boost for Mumbai, who have started their VHT campaign with two convincing victories. Jaiswal, known for his aggressive batting and fresh off his maiden ODI century against South Africa, is expected to partner with Rohit Sharma at the top of the order once again. His long-term availability in the tournament will be influenced by potential national call-ups for the ODI series against New Zealand, scheduled to begin in early January.
