India captain Rohit Sharma and young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal have been named in Mumbai's squad for their upcoming Ranji Trophy match against Jammu and Kashmir, scheduled to begin on January 23 at the MCA-BKC Ground in Mumbai.
The team will continue to be captained by the experienced Ajinkya Rahane. Rohit Sharma had confirmed his availability for this Ranji Trophy fixture on Saturday.
Rohit's recent form in Test cricket has been under scrutiny following a series of disappointing performances in his last eight matches, including games against New Zealand at home and Australia on their turf.
In a bid to strengthen domestic cricket, the BCCI recently mandated that all centrally contracted Indian players must participate in domestic tournaments unless they are dealing with fitness concerns.
