Ranji Trophy 2019-20: Rahane, Shaw In Mumbai Squad; Suryakumar Named Captain

Mumbai, the 41-time domestic champions, play their first game of the 2019-20 Ranji Trophy season against Baroda in Vadodara from December 9

The Mumbai Cricket Association named a 15-member squad for their first match against Baroda in the upcoming season of the Ranji Trophy. Indian vice-captain in Tests, Ajinkya Rahane and Prithvi Shaw have been inducted into the side whereas batsman Suryakumar Yadav has been named as the captain. Wicketkeeper-batsman Aditya Tare has been appointed as the Suryakumar’s deputy. The side has been picked by the Milind Rege-led ad-hoc selection panel on Monday, but the official announcement was made by the cricket body on Tuesday. Mumbai, the 41-time domestic champions, play their first game of the 2019-20 Ranji Trophy season against Baroda in Vadodara from December 9. Shreyas Iyer and all-rounder Shivam Dube have not been picked in the squad as they are in the national team. Rahane will get good game practice as India now play tests only in New Zealand after two months. The game would also be an opportunity for Shaw, who returned to competitive cricket after serving an eight-month doping ban in the Super League stage of Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy, to redeem himself. The Mumbai squad otherwise looks more or less balanced. Regulars Jay Bista, Shubham Ranjane, Shams Mulani, and pacers Shardul Thakur and Dhawal Kulkarni are part of the squad. According to reports, Mumbai’s crisis man Siddesh Lad will not be available for the first game as he is set to get married this Friday. Squad: Suryakumar Yadav (Captain), Aditya Tare (Vice Captain), Ajinkya Rahane, Prithvi Shaw, Jay Bista, Shubham Ranjane, Akash Parkar, Sarfaraz Khan, Shams Mulani, Vinayak Bhoir, Shashank Attarde, Shardul Thakur, Tushar Deshpande, Dhawal Kulkarni and Eknath Kerkar.
