Ayush Mhatre Named Mumbai Ranji Trophy Vice-Captain; Suryakumar Omitted
Mumbai has chosen its team for the 2026–27 Ranji Trophy season.
Ayush Mhatre, who is 19, will be the team’s vice-captain.
Siddhesh Lad will lead the squad.
The team has 16 players, including Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sarfaraz Khan.
Suryakumar Yadav said he was available to play for the whole season.
Even so, the selectors did not include him.
The article gives two dates that do not match: it says the squad was announced on October 9, but lists its publication date as October 5, 2026.

The 16-member squad is led by Siddhesh Lad.
Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sarfaraz Khan are among the other players selected.
Suryakumar Yadav made himself available for the season but was not selected.
The article says the Mumbai Cricket Association announced the squad on Monday, October 9, although it also gives October 5, 2026, as the publication date.
