The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) senior choice committee, led by former India pacer Salil Ankola, picked a 20-member squad for the primary two Ranji Trophy video games towards Maharashtra and Delhi to be performed from January 13 in Kolkata.
“Arjun (Tendulkar) has been bowling well, unfortunately, he was injured in between but he did well in whatever games he played thereafter. We have picked a team looking at the future of Mumbai cricket. Unfortunately Tushar Deshpande, our seamer, is injured but it’s a promising team. It’s a mixed team where we have picked players from under-19 and also who have been part of the Mumbai team for a few years.” Ankola instructed The Indian Express.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan, Shivam Dube are different notable names within the Mumbai squad.
