Mumbai Squad for Vijay Hazare Trophy: Rohit Sharma Named for Opening Games

Mumbai have announced their squad for the opening phase of the Vijay Hazare Trophy, with a blend of senior experience and emerging domestic talent. The team management has opted for a balanced group as they prepare for the first two fixtures of the tournament.

Shardul Thakur will take charge as captain for the early matches, bringing leadership and all-round value to the side. Rohit Sharma is also part of the squad for the initial games, offering stability and experience at the top of the order before rejoining national commitments.

The selection reflects Mumbai’s intent to give opportunities to young performers alongside proven domestic names. Several established batters and bowlers form the core, while a few new faces have been rewarded for consistent performances at the domestic and age-group levels.

Notably, a few regular names are absent from the squad, allowing the selectors to broaden the talent pool and test bench strength. This approach aligns with Mumbai’s long-standing tradition of grooming future prospects while remaining competitive.

Mumbai have been placed in Group C and will begin their Vijay Hazare Trophy campaign in Jaipur. The team will be keen to start strongly and build momentum early in the group stage.
