According to ESPNcricinfo, Mumbai will be without its star batsmen Shreyas Iyer and Shivam Dubey during the Ranji Trophy quarter-final clash against Baroda. According to ESPNcricinfo, Iyer has been ruled out of the quarter-final match to be held on February 23 due to back spasms. While Dubey is out of the game due to side strain. Iyer took part in one round of the Ranji Trophy in preparation for India’s five-match Test series against England this year as he was part of the squad for the first two matches. He was dropped from the next three matches after registering scores of 27, 29, 35 and 13 in the first two Tests in Visakhapatnam and Hyderabad.

Notably, it was a back injury that caused Iyer to be ruled out of the entire IPL 2023. He bounced back in the Asia Cup and scored 530 runs at an average of 66.25 and a strike rate of 113.24 in last year’s World Cup.

His brilliant performance included two centuries and three half-centuries. He returned to India’s red-ball squad during the South Africa tour earlier this year and retained his place for the first two matches of the England series.

Mumbai will miss in-form batsman Dubey, who has made a big impression in the current season. The left-handed batsman has scored two centuries and two half-centuries in his six Ranji innings. He suffered an injury during Mumbai’s win over Assam.

Dubey has scored at an average of 67.83 with a strike rate of 82.38. His 117 in the second innings against Uttar Pradesh saved Mumbai when they were reduced to 86/6. However, his hard effort was not enough to save his team from a two-wicket defeat.

Mumbai announced their squad on Tuesday and included India’s latest debutant Mushir Khan, brother of Sarfaraz Khan, in the squad.

Musheer missed most of the Ranji season as he was part of India’s Under-19 World Cup squad. During the campaign, he scored two centuries and scored 360 runs in seven innings.

Mumbai Team: Ajinkya Rahane (captain), Prithvi Shaw, Bhupen Lalwani, Amogh Bhatkal, Mushir Khan, Suryansh Shedge, Prasad Pawar (wicketkeeper), Hardik Tamore (wicketkeeper), Shardul Thakur, Shams Mulani, Tanush Kotian, Aditya Dhumal, Tushar Deshpande, Mohit Awasthi. , Dhawal Kulkarni, Royston Dias.
