Shardul Thakur to Miss Mumbai's Third Ranji Trophy Match Due to Injury
Mumbai all-rounder Shardul Thakur will miss Mumbai's third-round Ranji Trophy match against Haryana as he continues to recover from a fractured right middle finger sustained during training before the tournament. Having missed the first two rounds, Thakur remains unfit despite ongoing training and will also undertake commentary duties during India's T20I series in New Zealand. Mumbai, leading Elite Group D, face additional squad challenges with vice-captain Ayush Mhatre injured and Yashasvi Jaiswal playing abroad, but have retained the same squad for the upcoming match.
