Shreyas Iyer has been included in Mumbai’s squad for the Ranji Trophy semifinal towards Tamil Nadu, to be performed on the Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy floor from Saturday.
Shreyas will change Suryansh Shedge, who threw his wicket away in each the innings within the quarterfinal, within the squad of 16 that was finalised by Mumbai’s choice committee, chaired by former India pacer Raju Kulkarni.
When Shreyas had made himself unavailable for the quarterfinal citing health issues, it had led to a furore over whether or not the batter was pacing himself up for the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the price of First-Class cricket.

After being excluded from India’s Test squad halfway by way of the continued collection towards England, the Ranji Trophy knockouts have been being thought of as an excellent alternative for Shreyas to make a robust case for a Test recall.
The Mumbai camp shall be hoping that Shreyas is not going to solely obtain his private goal but in addition bolster a wobbly middle-order with a robust displaying within the semifinals.
