Mumbai have announced their squad for the upcoming Ranji Trophy 2024-25 quarterfinal clash against Haryana. National team stars Shivam Dube and Suryakumar Yadav will return to the side due to their availability after not being included in the upcoming ODI series against England.
They were recently involved in the five-match T20I series against England. Dube came in midway through the series following an injury to Nitish Kumar Reddy. The all-rounder recorded a pair in his last Ranji outing. Suryakumar led India to the 4-1 triumph but had a horrid series with the bat.
The defending champions had recorded a mammoth win in their final group-stage game against Meghalaya to secure qualification. They had earlier endured a scare after being stuck in the third place after the shock defeat to Jammu and Kashmir at home.
The 18-man squad also features emerging opening batter Ayush Mhatre, recent centurion Siddesh Lad, wicketkeeper Hardik Tamore, and in-form players Suryansh Shedge and Shardul Thakur among others.
"The Senior Selection Committee of Mumbai Cricket Association consisting of Mr. Sanjay Patil (Chairman), Mr. Ravi Thaker, Mr. Jeetendra Thackeray, Mr. Kiran Powar and Mr. Vikrant Yeligeti has selected the following players to represent Mumbai in Ranji Trophy Quarter Final match against Haryana to be played from 8th - 12th February 2025 at Chaudhry Bansi Lal Cricket Stadium, Lahli," a statement from MCA read.
