Indian left-handed opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal has reportedly informed the Mumbai Cricket Association about his availability for the next Ranji Trophy match against Rajasthan. He makes the much-awaited return ahead of the South Africa Test series.
The Mumbai Cricket Association has already played two matches in the first two rounds of the Ranji Trophy. The first match marked a dominant show from the Mumbai batters and subsequently from the bowlers as they started their campaign with a win against Jammu & Kashmir.
In the second match of this year’s Ranji Trophy, the Mumbai team took on Chhattisgarh as Ajinkya Rahane led the Mumbai batters with a stunning 159 runs. Shams Mulani picked up 9 wickets in the first matches and top scored for Mumbai with 91 and 41 runs across the two innings.

Jaiswal will play Ranji Trophy for Mumbai
He is likely to use his next match against Rajasthan as his warm-up match for India’s next match in the upcoming two-match Test series against South Africa in November. He amassed 219 runs in his last three innings for India, hitting a productive average of 73.
With around 18 days to go before India begin their home campaign against South Africa, a report from Indian Express has confirmed that the youngster could play for Mumbai in their Group D match against Rajasthan.
He missed the first two matches against Jammu & Kashmir and Chhattisgarh in the opening round of the Ranji Trophy. Having played 44 matches in his first-class career, he has amassed 4301 runs at an average of 55.85.
The batsman scored 15 first-class hundreds besides 16 half-centuries, with the highest individual score of 265.
Yashasvi Jaiswal did not play a single match in the Australian ODIs
Yashasvi Jaiswal traveled to Australia for the three-match ODI series for India. He was given a place in the ODI squad; however, he was not named in the playing XI as veteran Rohit Sharma and Captain Shubman Gill could not be replaced at the top.
Jaiswal was seen behind the nets during India’s training sessions and was seen in intense conversations with the Indian coaches and the selectors. Despite everything, he was not offered a place and will not be a doubt for the ODIs in South Africa.
