New Delhi. The Mumbai Cricket Association has announced its possible team for the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy season. As expected, Shreyas Iyer was kept out of the team while Shardul Thakur has been made the captain. It was already said in the reports that it will be the next captain in place of all -rounder Ajinkya Rahane. At that time, it was curious as to why Shreyas Iyer, who was captaining Mumbai in white ball cricket, would not handle the command.
Shreyas Iyer out!
Shreyas Iyer, who suddenly left the match against Australia A and returned home, informed the BCCI that he would not play red ball cricket for 6 months, since then it seemed that Iyer would not play Day cricket for Mumbai and it happened there. Shreyal Iyer’s name has been excluded from the list of potential players released by the Mumbai Cricket Association, which indicates that at least this season, this right -handed batsman will not be seen playing a red ball.
Sarfaraz Khan’s return
Sarfaraz Khan, who has not played any competitive match since May, is finally making a comeback. The 27 -year -old has not been good for the last few months for this player, although he has improved his fitness by reducing 17 kg, he is struggling with injuries. In August, Buchi Babu was out of India A series against Sarfaraz Dalip Trophy and Australia A due to a quadriseples injury in the tournament. Apart from this, for this reason, he has not been selected for the India vs West Indies Test series. Sarfaraz was out of the entire Ranji Trophy last year. The first part is due to international commitments to India and the second part due to the injury to the rib.
