Shaw dropped, Rahane rested as Mumbai announces squad for Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25
The HinduA day after Mumbai head coach Omkar Salvi hoped Prithvi Shaw will “peak at the right time”, the enigmatic opener was dropped by the Mumbai men’s senior selection committee for the Vijay Hazare Trophy – the domestic one-day championship – league stage, starting on December 23. The names of Shaw, al-lrounder Shams Mulani and veteran Ajinkya Rahane – the Player of the Tournament in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy – were found missing from the squad of 17 that was finalised by the selection committee chaired by Sanjay Patil. With Rahane’s unavailability and Mumbai playing its league stage in a logistically convenient location, Ahmedabad, the selection committee has selected the squad for the first three games of the league stage. He will be in touch with us and the selectors about his availability for the latter stage,” Abhay Hadap, the Mumbai Cricket Association secretary who convened the selection committee meeting, told Sportstar on Tuesday.
