Jaiswal, Shardul return to Mumbai for Ranji Trophy quarter finals
Skipper Shardul Thakur and India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal on Monday returned to the Mumbai squad for the Ranji Trophy quarterfinal against Karnataka to be played here from February 6. Mumbai had topped the Elite Group D with four wins and three draws while Karnataka made it to the last eight with a thrilling victory against Punjab in their Group A match.
The quarterfinal between Mumbai and Karnataka will be played at the MCA-BKC Ground here from February 6 to 10 as the iconic Wankhede Stadium will be hosting the T20 World Cup matches from February 7. It will be a second appearance for Jaiswal for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy this season after he played in the clash against Rajasthan in the first round. The India opener was “not considered” for selection by the MCA and the senior selection panel after he had failed to confirm his availability during the second round of the group stage which concluded on Sunday.
