Shams Mulani to lead Mumbai in Vijay Hazare Trophy 2021

All-rounder Shams Mulani is set to lead Mumbai in the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy, the Mumbai Cricket Association has confirmed. Mumbai, who are placed Elite Group B of the ODI tournament, will kickstart their campaign from December 8 in Thiruvananthapuram. Mulani also led the Mumbai team that toured Oman earlier this year.

Considering the absence of many senior players, who are currently on national duty, the Salil Ankola-led selection committee, also comprising Gulam Parkar, Sunil More, Prasad Desai and Anand Yalvigi, have named a fairly young squad, including the likes of Yashaasvi Jaiswal, Shivam Dube and Arman Jaffer, while the pace attack will be led by the experienced Dhawal Kulkarni.

Mumbai squad: Shams Mulani (C), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Arman Jaffer, Akarshit Gomel, Sagar Mishra, Siddhesh Lad, Shivam Dube, Hardik Tamore, Prasad Pawar, Tanush Kotian, Prashant Solanki, Sairaj Patil, Aman Khan, Atharva Ankolekar, Dhawal Kulkarni, Mohit Avasthi, Tushar Deshpande, Atif Attarwala, Deepak Shetty and Parikshit Valsangkar.
