Yashasvi Jaiswal, an Indian Test opener, will continue to represent Mumbai after dropping his request to relocate to Goa. Prior to his withdrawal on Monday, June 30, the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) had granted the 23-year-old a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for the transfer.
Yashasvi Jaiswal last played for Mumbai in a Ranji Trophy game at the BKC stadium the previous season. He is currently with the Indian squad in England.
“The Apex Council has approved the withdrawal of the No Objection Certificate (NOC) that had been earlier requested by Yashasvi Jaiswal to represent another state. He will continue to be available for Mumbai,” the MCA said in a statement.
“Yashasvi has always been a proud product of Mumbai cricket. We have accepted his withdrawal NOC application and he will be available for Mumbai in the forthcoming domestic season,” said the Association president Ajinkya Naik.
In ten Ranji Trophy matches for Mumbai, the left-handed batsman has amassed 863 runs at an average of 53.93, including four hundreds. He has amassed five hundreds and 1,296 runs at an average of 58 in 25 innings of List A cricket. He has amassed 648 runs in 26 innings while playing for Mumbai in the T20 format.
Arman Jaffer and Sidhant Adatrao have been granted NOCs and will play for Pondicherry in the forthcoming domestic season, according to the MCA. This development has been formally confirmed by the Pondicherry Cricket Association. Puneet Datey, a former player for Madhya Pradesh, will join them on the Southern team.
The MCA has established a committee devoted to the growth and well-being of players with disabilities, which is another noteworthy step.
“In a progressive step towards inclusivity and alignment with the MCA Constitution, the Council has decided to constitute a Differently-Abled Players Cricket Committee. These decisions underscore the MCA’s enduring commitment to tradition, inclusivity, and the growth of cricket at all levels,” the MCA said.
