Yashasvi Jaiswal Confirmed to Join Mumbai VHT Squad in Jaipur Ahead of New Year
Rajasthan Royals opener Yashasvi Jaiswal is set to join the Mumbai squad in Jaipur on December 29 for the Vijay Hazare Trophy (VHT). Jaiswal is expected to feature in Mumbai's match against Chhattisgarh on the same day, providing a significant boost to the team's batting lineup.
This move ensures the young Indian star gains valuable white-ball match practice, adhering to the BCCI's mandate for centrally contracted players to feature in domestic tournaments during international breaks. Jaiswal's inclusion adds immense firepower to the squad, which has already seen stellar performances in the tournament's opening round.
Furthermore, the Mumbai squad is slated to be strengthened in the new year with the arrival of Suryakumar Yadav and all-rounder Shivam Dube, who are confirmed to join the team for matches scheduled on January 6 and 8. The presence of these IPL stalwarts underscores the importance of the VHT for maintaining peak match fitness.
“TOI has learnt that Jaiswal could therefore feature for Mumbai in their Vijay Hazare Trophy match against Chhattisgarh on December 29 and the following matches.”
