Ajinkya Rahane, the vice-captain in the Indian Test team, will lead a 20-member Mumbai squad in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy. Prithvi Shaw, who captained Mumbai to victory in the 2020/21 Vijay Hazare Trophy, will serve as his deputy, said an announcement by the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) on its website on Monday.
Rahane will look to find form after scoring just 109 runs in four Tests on the tour to England. He didn't feature in a single game for Delhi Capitals in the second half of IPL 2021 in the UAE.
The squad was picked by Salil Ankola, Chairman of the Selection Committee along with other members Gulam Parkar, Sunil More, Prasad Desai and Anand Yalvigi. The squad features experienced players like Aditya Tare, Siddesh Lad, Dhaval Kulkarni and Shivam Dube along with youngsters like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan and Arman Jaffer.
