The Mumbai Cricket Association held a selection meeting on Friday, December 19, to finalize the squad for the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy. The 50-over tournament is set to begin on Wednesday, December 24. Notably, the BCCI reportedly urged players to feature in at least two matches in the List-A competition.
According to the Times of India, Mumbai’s selectors have said that India players will be added to the squad once their availability is confirmed. Rohit Sharma has shown interest in returning to domestic cricket as part of his plans, similar to Virat Kohli, who has been named in Delhi’s provisional squad.
Yashasvi Jaiswal is absent due to health reasons. The young opener is recovering from gastroenteritis after playing for Mumbai in the latter stages of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He recently shared an update on social media, confirming that he is feeling better.
