Shreyas Iyer, the middle-order batter for India, made his return to the Mumbai squad for their upcoming Ranji Trophy Elite Group A match against Odisha, which begins on Wednesday. Iyer, who missed the previous away match against Tripura due to personal reasons, has rejoined the 16-member squad for the crucial fixture at the Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy in Bandra-Kurla Complex.

However, Mumbai opener Prithvi Shaw has been excluded from the squad. Shaw, who was dropped before the team’s trip to Agartala for the last game, has not been included in the lineup for the match against Odisha.

The absence of Shaw and the return of Iyer adds a new dynamic to the Mumbai team as they aim to defend their Ranji Trophy title. The upcoming clash against Odisha is expected to be a crucial encounter for both teams as they battle for supremacy in the tournament.
