Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Super: India’s left-handed opener Yashasvi Jaiswal is set to link up with the Mumbai squad ahead of their Vijay Hazare Trophy (VHT) clash against Goa on December 31, confirmed Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) Secretary Unmesh Khanvilkar.

Jaiswal, who turns 24 on Sunday, missed Mumbai’s opening two matches in Jaipur due to his recovery from acute gastroenteritis. “Yashaswi will play in the game against Goa, which is the one happening on December 31. He will be joining the team either on 29th evening or 30th morning,” Khanvilkar told IANS on Sunday.

Earlier this month, Jaiswal was hospitalised with stomach cramps after Mumbai’s final Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Super League fixture against Rajasthan, with tests confirming acute gastroenteritis and doctors advising a week’s rest.
