Vijay Hazare Trophy: Jaiswal Back in Mumbai Lineup Dec 31

Mumbai’s formidable batting lineup receives a major reinforcement with the return of Yashasvi Jaiswal for the Vijay Hazare Trophy. The young opener is confirmed to be available for Mumbai’s clash against Goa on December 31st. Jaiswal was sidelined from the first two matches of the competition due to health issues, specifically acute gastroenteritis, which saw him hospitalised after a recent Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy fixture. He is slated to join the Mumbai squad on either December 29th or 30th. This comeback is timely for Mumbai, which has secured dominant wins in its initial Vijay Hazare Trophy outings. Jaiswal’s recent successful ODI debut series, capped by a brilliant century, underscores his current form. His participation in subsequent VHT games hinges on his potential selection for the India ODI squad set to face New Zealand starting January 11th.
