Yashasvi Jaiswal will miss Mumbai's second Ranji Trophy 2026-27 match against Himachal Pradesh as he joins the India A squad for the upcoming New Zealand tour. Mumbai have added Suryansh Shedge and Angkrish Raghuvanshi to their squad to cover the absences of Jaiswal and the injured Ayush Mhatre.
Mumbai will face Himachal Pradesh in Bisalpur from October 18 after opening their campaign with a dominant win over Chandigarh. The former champions collected seven points from their innings-and-155-run victory and will aim to maintain their strong start despite the changes to their batting line-up.
Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ayush Mhatre Miss Mumbai's Next Ranji Trophy Match
According to RevSportz, Yashasvi Jaiswal will leave for New Zealand to join the India A squad ahead of India's two-match Test series in November. Seam-bowling all-rounder Suryansh Shedge, who impressed during India A's recent limited-overs series against Australia A, is set to replace him in Mumbai's squad.
Mumbai have also lost newly appointed vice-captain Ayush Mhatre, who will be out for four to six weeks after suffering a Grade 4 tear in his right hamstring. Mhatre sustained the injury while running between the wickets on the opening day of the match against Chandigarh.
Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who missed Mumbai's first-round selection, has been called up to replace Mhatre. He recently scored 201 off 248 balls for Mumbai in the Col. CK Nayudu Trophy (Under-23) against Bengal at the JU Second Campus Ground in Salt Lake, Kolkata.
With Jaiswal and Mhatre unavailable, Raghuvanshi is likely to open alongside Divyaansh Saxena against Himachal Pradesh. The new opening combination will be key to Mumbai's plans for the second-round fixture.
