In their must-win Ranji Trophy Elite Group A match against Meghalaya, which begins in Mumbai on Thursday, the reigning champions Mumbai unveiled their 16-man roster, which does not include India stars Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Shreyas Iyer.
Atharva Ankolekar, Suryansh Shedge, and Angkrish Raghuvanshi have all been called back.
For the forthcoming ODI series against England beginning on February 6, Mumbai, who are coming off a five-wicket loss to Jammu & Kashmir last week, will be missing India’s top players, Jaiswal, Iyer, and Rohit.
Iyer, on the other hand, has been an essential part of the Mumbai team this season in all formats of domestic contests.
The three are also included in the Indian team that will compete in the Champions Trophy next month.
Karsh Kothari was left off the roster despite being a member of Mumbai’s playing XI against Jammu & Kashmir.
The Ajinkya Rahane-led team will now need to score a significant victory — with a bonus point — against Meghalaya and hope that Baroda defeats the table-toppers Jammu and Kashmir in their home field. The loss to Jammu and Kashmir has damaged Mumbai’s title defense.
The Mumbai team: of Ajinkya Rahane (captain), Ayush Mhatre, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Amogh Bhatkal, Siddhesh Lad, Akash Anand (worker), Hardik Tamore (worker), Suryansh Shedge, Shardul Thakur, Shams Mulani, Tanush Kotian, Mohit Avasthi, Sylvester D’Souza, Royston Dias, Shreyas Gurav, and Atharva Ankolepar.
