All-rounder Suryansh Shedge and Angkrish Raghuvanshi were on Thursday named in Mumbai’s 16-member squad for their Ranji Trophy Elite Group D clash against Himachal Pradesh in Bilaspur. Mumbai, who won their season opener against Chandigarh by an innings and 155 runs at the Wankhede Stadium, will play their second-round match from October 18 to 21 with changes at the top of the order. With a right hamstring injury sidelining vice-captain Ayush Mhatre and India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal linking up with the India A side for a three-match unofficial Test series in New Zealand, Mumbai will field a new opening pair.
Shedge was recently on India A duty against Australia A in a three-match unofficial ODI series, which the hosts lost 2-1. Shedge’s 66 off 60 balls, featuring seven fours and two sixes, helped India A register a consolation victory in the final List A game While he took 4/40 in the opening match. Raghuvanshi and Divyaansh Saxena are likely to open the batting. Mumbai will also be without the services of former captain Shardul Thakur, who remains on the comeback trail after suffering a hand injury during pre-season training. Mumbai squad for the match against Himachal Pradesh: Siddesh Lad (captain), Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Suryansh Shedge, Divyaansh Saxena, Sarfaraz Khan, Musheer Khan, Suved Parkar, Akash Anand (wk), Hardik Tamore (wk), Shams Mulani, Tanush Kotian, Atharva Ankolekar, Tushar Deshpande, Mohit Awasthi, Sylvester Dsouza, Onkar Tarmale.
