Mumbai has retained the squad for the Ranji Trophy Elite Group D match against Haryana, to be played from Monday at the Sharad Pawar academy ground.

Mumbai had travelled to Himachal Pradesh and earned its second consecutive bonus-point win at the start of the campaign. After Mumbai thrashed Himachal Pradesh by an innings and 97 runs, the selection committee, chaired by Rajesh Pawar, on Thursday decided to stick to the same set of 15 players who travelled to Bilaspur.

The only talking point for the selectors was Shardul Thakur’s fitness. The all-rounder is recovering after fracturing his right middle finger during a pre-season match. The Hindu understands that a fitness update on Shardul is expected in the next couple of days.

Even if the 35-year-old is cleared medically, he will be eased into the squad after gradually increasing his workload.

The squad: Siddhesh Lad (Capt.), Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Divyaansh Saxena, Musheer Khan, Sarfaraz Khan, Suryansh Shedge, Suved Parkar, Aakash Anand (wk), Hardik Tamore (wk), Shams Mulani, Tanush Kotian, Atharva Ankolekar, Tushar Deshpande, Mohit Avasthi, Sylvester D’Souza, Onkar Tarmale.
