The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has announced the 17-strong squad for the three matches of the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. After leading the side that won the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024-25, Shreyas Iyer will lead the team in the tournament.
He is the highlight of the squad Prithvi Shaw removed from the team for the tournament. The opening batsman was earlier sidelined for Ranji Trophy 2024-25, then returned to the squad for Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024-25, but he failed miserably in the tournament.
Prithvi Shaw, Ajinkya Rahane missed 3 games due to personal reasons
Opening the batting in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024-25, Prithvi Shaw was in terrible touch as he scored just 197 runs in 9 matches. His relegation means that it will be very difficult for him to get back into the team now.
Apart from Prithvi Shaw, Ajinkya Rahane will also miss the first three games of Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 for Mumbai. According to “Times of India”, the striker has asked for a break due to personal reasons and will join the squad later.
