Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) named their 15-man squad for their second match of the Ranji Trophy 2024 version towards Andhra with only one change. Mumbai have referred to as up Indian batter Shreyas Iyer for the match beginning January 12 instead of Shivam Dube, who has been chosen within the Indian group for the three-match T20 sequence towards Afghanistan. Iyer, who was ignored for the Afghanistan T20Is with the seniors Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli again, had a disappointing Test sequence towards South Africa and will probably be wanting to get into some run-scoring kind with England sequence to observe.
Iyer returned scores of 31, 6, 0 and 4* within the 4 innings in two Tests towards the Proteas and failed to learn the shifting ball. However, in Indian circumstances, he would be the middle-order enforcer the Rohit Sharma-led aspect would require given there is no such thing as a Rishabh Pant and pitches are doubtless to flip sq..
Apart from Iyer, one other change within the squad was with respect to captaincy because the veteran Ajinkya Rahane has been handed the accountability, as he changed all-rounder Shams Mulani, who led the aspect towards Bihar however retains his place within the squad.
Mumbai started their Ranji Trophy 2024 marketing campaign with a bang as they beat Bihar by an innings and 51 runs. Mohit Avasthi was the decide of the bowlers for Mumbai as he took a six-wicket haul within the first innings whereas Shivam Dube added 4 wickets to his two within the first innings to find yourself with six wickets himself because the hosts had been bowled out for 100 every in each innings. Dube’s bowling kind is an efficient signal for India given the Men in Blue proceed to discover Hardik Pandya‘s backup.
