The BCCI said in a note, “Dhruv Jurel and Yash Dayal have been selected in the Rest of India squad and their participation is subject to them not being involved in the second Test match against Bangladesh in Kanpur. The 2nd Test will begin from September 27.”

The BCCI added, “Sarfaraz Khan, who is retained in the Team India squad for the 2nd Test, will be released to represent the Mumbai team, provided he is not involved in the second Test against Bangladesh in Kanpur.”

Meanwhile, Mohammed Shami has not been included in the Rest of India (RoI) squad. After being absent from competitive cricket since last year’s 50-over World Cup, Shami was expected to participate in at least one Duleep Trophy match to demonstrate his match fitness. However, according to ESPN Cric Info, “his comeback appears to be delayed further, as he is not part of the RoI squad.”

The upcoming IDFC First Bank ZR Irani Cup 2024 will see Mumbai, the 2023-24 Ranji Trophy champions, face off against the Rest of India. The match is set to take place from October 1st to 5th, 2024, at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
