Suryansh Shedge named in Mumbai squad as India ODI selection looms
Suryansh Shedge has been named in Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy squad for an away match against Himachal Pradesh in Bilaspur.
The 23-year-old all-rounder recently impressed against Australia A, taking four wickets and scoring 66 in separate games.
Those performances have put him in contention for India’s ODI tour of New Zealand, though the selectors have not confirmed his place.
India are scheduled to play five ODIs and five T20Is against New Zealand before a Test series.
A busy schedule could affect which players are available for both the limited-overs matches and Tests.
Shedge has already played three T20Is for India, and his ability to bat and bowl could help his case.
He will next have a chance to build on his form for Mumbai in the Ranji match scheduled for October 18 to 21.
Suryansh Shedge and Angkrish Raghuvanshi were named in Mumbai’s 16-member squad for its Ranji Trophy match against Himachal Pradesh in Bilaspur.
The match is scheduled to run from October 18 to 21.
Shedge’s inclusion comes as he is reported to be in contention for India’s ODI squad for its New Zealand tour, though his selection has not been confirmed.
He impressed against Australia A, taking four wickets for 40 runs and scoring 66 off 60 balls in separate matches.
Raghuvanshi replaces the injured Ayush Mhatre, while Shedge comes into the squad for Yashasvi Jaiswal, who is joining India A.

What people are saying
Shedge has a very high chance of making it to the ODI squad simply because Nitish Kumar Reddy will have an important role to play in the Test series as the fourth seamer and a floater in the lower order. Hence, Reddy won't play all the ODIs as he has to prepare for the red-ball games.
