Shreyas Iyer has been included in Mumbai’s squad for the Ranji Trophy semifinal against Tamil Nadu to be played at the Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy ground from March 2 to 6. He will replace Suryansh Shedge in the 16-member squad. When Shreyas made himself unavailable for the quarterfinal citing fitness concerns, there was speculation that he was preparing for the IPL at the cost of First Class cricket.
The Mumbai camp will be hoping that Shreyas will bolster a wobbly middle-order with a strong show in the semifinals.
Meanwhile, Sai Kishore’s men received a boost with Washington Sundar set to join the squad for the semifinal.
