Overview
Announcements, player transfers, and other updates in the build-up to the 2022-23 Indian domestic cricket season.
Ajinkya Rahane will lead the Mumbai squad in the upcoming Ranji Trophy season, which starts on December 13. In-form batter Suryakumar Yadav, who has been rested for the ongoing ODI series in Bangladesh, will be available for the second round game against Hyderabad from December 20 in Mumbai. Prithvi Shaw, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan and Tushar Deshpande were the other notable names in the squad of 17 for the opening game against Andhra.
Sarfaraz’s brother Musheer Khan, who was selected for the knockouts last season but didn’t get a game, was also picked.
ESPNcricinfo has learnt Dhawal Kulkarni and allrounder Shivam Dube have not recovered from their injuries they picked up before the Vijay Hazare Trophy and were hence not available for selection. The pace attack will be led by Deshpande, with Mohit Awasthi and left-armer Royston Dias for company.
Siddhesh Lad (Goa), Arjun Tendulkar (Goa) and Aditya Tare (Uttarakhand) have switched sides after the last season.
Squad: Ajinkya Rahane (capt), Prithvi Shaw, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Armaan Jaffer, Sarfaraz Khan, Suved Parkar, Hardik Tamore, Prasad Pawar, Shams Mulani, Tanush Kotian, Tushar Deshpande, Mohit Awasthi, Siddharth Raut, Roystan Dias, Suryansh Shedge, Shashank Attarde, Musheer Khan
