Two international stars will return to Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy squad for their quarter-final clash against Haryana.
Mumbai's road to the quarters
Mumbai made it into the knockouts after finishing second in the Elite Group A points table. They finished on 29 points, ending behind Jammu and Kashmir, who had punched above their weight to defeat the defending champions earlier in the tournament.
Ahead of the last league game, Mumbai were in a shootout with Baroda, the latter needing a win to edge ahead and into the quarters. However, they were unable to cross the line against Jammu and Kashmir, in a clash also ridden with allegations about pitch doctoring. Mumbai also won their game with a bonus point against Meghalaya to sail through.
T20I stars return to first-class cricket
India T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav has been picked in the squad for the quarters after completing his assignment against England. He has been a regular for Mumbai in domestic cricket but has played just one game in the ongoing Ranji Trophy, being preoccupied with international commitments. He scored seven against Maharashtra.
Shivam Dube, the other India player who has been named in the Mumbai squad for the quarter-final, played against Jammu and Kashmir before being pulled away for the England T20Is. He was called up as an injury replacement after Nitish Kumar Reddy suffered a side strain.
The match will be played on February 8 at the Chaudhary Bansi Lal Cricket Stadium in Lahli.
