New Delhi: Mumbai will get the services of Shreyas Iyer and Shardul Thakur when they take on Rest of India in the upcoming Irani Trophy encounter scheduled to take place in Lucknow from October 1-5. Ajinkya Rahane who led Mumbai to Ranji Trophy triumph earlier this year will continue to lead the side. The availability of Iyer and Thakur comes as a boost for the Mumbai side thus solidifying their depth in batting and bowling respectively. While Iyer has been a part of the Duleep Trophy matches Thakur is coming after an ankle surgery in June. The Indian all-rounder played in the KSCA tournament and is believed to have made himself available for the five-day encounter. Meanwhile Iyer was the India D captain in the Duleep Trophy. Under Iyer’s captaincy India D finished last in the points table with just one win from three games. Their only win came against India B in the third round. In six innings Iyer could score only 154 runs including two fifties. The stylish right-hander would be hoping to find some form in the Irani Cup tie in a bid to return to the national team. The Mumbai Cricket Association is yet to announce the squad for the Irani Cup match.
