Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 13 (ANI): Indian batter Yashasvi Jaiswal, who could not make the final cut for the ICC Champions Trophy starting from February 19, will be playing for Mumbai in their Ranji Trophy semifinal match against Vidarbha in Nagpur from February 17.
As per ESPNCricinfo, Jaiswal, who played a group stage fixture against Jammu and Kashmir last month, will be coming back to boost a Mumbai side which already features international stars like skipper Ajinkya Rahane, Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube and Shardul Thakur.
Jaiswal was a part of the original main squad for India in the Champions Trophy, before making way for spinner Varun Chakravarthy in the final squad announced on February 11. He made his ODI debut against England at Nagpur, scoring 15 in 22 balls.
During the Ranji fixture against J&K, which Mumbai lost, Jaiswal had managed scores of 4 and 26. That match also marked the return of Indian skipper Rohit Sharma after 10 years.
Dube is also included in non-travelling reserves for the Champions Trophy and will be in Dubai if required.
