Mumbai’s experienced all-rounder Shardul Thakur is set to miss Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy match against Haryana after continuing to recover from a finger injury. The teams’ fixture is scheduled to be played at the BKC Complex starting Monday, with Thakur not yet declared match-fit.
Across reports, Thakur’s absence is linked to a finger problem sustained during training ahead of the Ranji season. While some outlets specify he also sat out earlier rounds and remains in rehabilitation, others focus on the immediate consequence for the Haryana match. ESPN Cricinfo additionally frames the issue as Thakur missing the next Ranji Trophy match as he has not fully recovered.
Other team availability issues are also mentioned by some outlets. Free Press Journal and Times of India both note that Mumbai’s vice-captain Ayush Mhatre is sidelined with a hamstring injury, adding to an injury-affected period for the squad. Free Press Journal further provides additional context on squad retention and Thakur’s recent activity while recovering, including commentary duties for India’s ongoing T20I series.
