Prithvi Shaw and Shreyas Iyer were on Saturday named in Mumbai’s list of 28 probables for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, which is scheduled to be held from November 23 to December 15.
India’s premier domestic T20 competition will end up dividing the Ranji Trophy into two halves along with the 50-overs Vijay Hazare Trophy this season.
The league round will be played from November 23 to December 5, while the knockouts will be held from December 9-15.
Shaw’s inclusion in the list of 28 players comes as a fresh lease of life for the explosive batter who found himself out of reckoning in the Ranji Trophy for the defending champions Mumbai.
The 25-year-old, who has played five Tests, six ODIs and one T20I for India since making his international debut six years ago, was dropped from the Mumbai squad for their away Ranji Trophy clash against Tripura owing to fitness and disciplinary matters.
Shaw had not been attending Mumbai’s training sessions on a regular basis and also appeared a “little overweight”, which led to the selectors looking at other options.
“You have to look at his fitness and his running when he is on the field. The MCA has a rich history and there cannot be exceptions for a certain player,” an official from Mumbai Cricket Association had told PTI.
The right-handed batter was seen going through his fitness drills on the second day of the Ranji Trophy clash between Mumbai and Odisha at the Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy in Bandra-Kurla Complex here.
The probables list also features India and Mumbai’s in-form batter Shreyas Iyer, who is forcing his name back into national reckoning with scores of 142 and 233 in his last two outings in Ranji Trophy.
Among those included are comeback man Siddhesh Lad, who made 169 in his last outing and all-rounder Shams Mulani, who ended his barren run with the ball to take 6/115 and 5/71 in Mumbai’s massive win against Odisha.
Nathan McSweeney was added to the Australian Test Squad for Border Gavaskar Trophy and he will open the Batting for Australia in the First Test against India (as per the reports).
He will start the batting for Australia by partnering with Usman Khawaja while Josh Inglis will be a reserve batter in the 13-Player Squad.
Australia released a 13 member squad with a reserve batter Josh Inglis and a reserver bowler Scott Boland. So it made their playing 11 very clear for the First Test Match against Indian in the border Gavaskar Trophy.
Australia has named Aaron McSweeney and Josh Inglis as the fresh additions to their 13-player squad for the opening match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.
The rest of the lineup features familiar faces led by captain Pat Cummins, with pace options including Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, and Scott Boland. Nathan Lyon stands as the main spin bowler, with Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head likely to support with part-time spin.
Alex Carey remains the team’s primary wicketkeeper and brings strong form with the bat, having topped the Sheffield Shield scoring charts with two centuries and a half-century in six innings.
Inglis, selected for his versatility as both a backup wicketkeeper and middle-order batter, is in solid form as well, ranking fourth in Shield runs this season.
McSweeney and Sam Konstas competed for an opener role after notable performances in recent unofficial matches against India A, where McSweeney’s experience ultimately secured him a place in the squad. A Test debut for McSweeney could be on the cards in Perth.

Former India opener Aakash Chopra has Questioned about Indian team management’s decision on sending Rinku Singh down the batting order during 1st T20I in India tour of South Africa in 2024.
Rinku Singh scored 11 runs off 10 deliveries while batting at No.6 as India posted 202/8 runs after being asked to bat first. The visitors bundled the Proteas out for 141 runs registering a resounding 61 run win.
While speaking in a YouTube channel ‘Aakash Chopra’ questioned whether Rinku Singh has been treated fairly.
“Are we being fair to Rinku? It’s a very important question. Why am I asking this question? You kept him in the team first, he is your original choice player.”
“He was in your team against Bangladesh and before that as well. Whenever you have sent him up the order or he has got to bat in the powerplay, he has scored runs every time,” said Chopra in the video.
He also added that Rinku Singh has risen to the occasion on most instances of him coming him at No. 4.

“He has scored a half-century every time. He has emerged as a crisis man. He scored those half-centuries at very good strike rates. So, this was that opportunity. Why don’t you send him at No. 4? What is the reason that you only send Rinku down the order, always at No. 6?” observed Chopra.
Aakash Chopra went on to explain why he thought Rinku was different from Hardik Pandya and Andre Russell.
“I am asking this question only because Rinku can finish but he is not just a finisher. This is my understanding. I feel he knows how to drive the game. He is hitting sixes but he is not someone who muscles the ball. He is not Andre Russell and he is not Hardik Pandya as well,” he noted.
Chopra recommended a swap in position for Tilak Varma and Rinku for the remainder of the series.
“He tries to score runs with timing and then he makes the most of whatever he has. I feel you could have played him at No. 4 in Durban. In fact, you could have done that in this entire series and moved Tilak Varma down because someone has to go at No. 6,” he added.
Rinku has played at No. 4 only twice in the 20 innings he has played for. It will be interesting to see where the southpaw is slotted for the remaining three T20Is.
The second match of the South Africa T20Is will be played on November 10 at St George’s Oval.

After India’s stunning 0-3 defeat against New Zealand in test series against New Zealand, the BCCI conducted a review meeting to address the issues regarding team performance, selection decisions and coaching strategies.
Rohit Sharma along with Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir attended the meeting with selectors chief Ajit Agarkar, BCCI secretary Jay Shah and President Roger Binny.
According to reports, the meeting was a necessary step in getting the team ‘back on track’ as they prepare for the Border Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.
India Cricket team (image: X)
“It was a six-hour marathon meeting, which was obviously on cards after such a debacle. India are going on a tour of Australia, and the BCCI would obviously like to ensure that the team is back on track and would like to know how the think-tank (Gambhir-Rohit-Agarkar) are going about it,” said a senior BCCI source.
A point focussing on Gambhir’s coaching style which is reportedly distinct from that of former coach Rahul Dravid. It is believed that Gambhir’s approach might benefit Indian team in a long run as it hasn’t been seamless for everyone on the team.
But it is unclear whether Gambhir’s style was directly questioned, but sources revealed that a part of Indian team management has expressed concerns over the approach.
The question were also raised about decisions made during the test series against New Zealand, where Bumrah has been rested for the third test. The board wants the clarity behind the reason of resting ace pacer during high stake match.
The selection process has also come under scrutiny. The test inclusion of the Nitish Reddy and Harshit Rana has been topics sparked a debate in the meeting.
The source mentioned that these picks “have not been unanimous to say the least,” indicating a potential rift in opinion among selectors and management.
The Board has requested to give input on how selection could be improved to avoid such controversies in future.
As India is set to leave to Australia for BGT in two batches on November 10 and 11, the BCCI has set clear expectations for corrective measures for Indian team to regain their previous form.

However, Gujarat Titans will be likely to use RTM cards for the following players.
David Miller
Vijay Shankar
Mohit Sharma
David Miller
The Gujarat Titans retained players list has came as a huge shock for the fans. The South African cricketer has played a vital role in the team’ line up over the years, playing the role of finisher in the league.
Miller’s international experience comes in handy for the Titans in their journey so far. Miller joined the franchise since their debuted in the IPL 2022 and amassed 481, 259 and 210 runs respectively in the three seasons, at a strike rate bordering on 150.
He played 9 games in IPL 2024 and managed to maintain a strike rate of 151 despite not scoring a lot. With Gill being the captain, Miller’s experience should posses forward as the Proteas batter remains one of the best in the world in the finisher’s role.
Vijay Shankar
The Indian cricketer, Vijay Shankar had an impressive season for Gujarat in the IPL 2023 when he scored 301 runs with three fifties and struck at a strike rate of 160. Shankar has made 82 runs in 11 matches across two seasons in 2022 and 2024.
Shankar has suprisingly not bowled in last two seasons as the Gujarat Titans asked him to do so and was mostly used as an Impact Sub last season, who remains a hot prospect owing to his all-round skillset.
Mohit Sharma
Mohit Sharma will be a strong candidate whom the Titans can use their RTM card option. He has been bought by the franchise during IPL 2023 auction for only INR 50 lakhs. Mohit Proved to be a game changer for them, primarily being used as a death bowler, as he picked 27 wickets in 14 games.
During the 2024 season, he picked 13 wickets as his role changer, requiring him to bowl one or two overs in the first 10 overs of the innings due to the absence of Shami.
Aparted from the RTM option, Listed below are some of the likely targets of Gujarat Titans for IPL 2025 Auction.
Quinton de kock
Ravichandran Ashwin
Quinton de Kock
Being a consistent performer in the IPL, de Kock has been part of the Lucknow Super Giants since 2022. Despite being under performed during the last season, he will be chased by number of teams because of his consistent performance and skill set.
Gujarat Titans might consider de Kock as a overseas wk-keeper for the IPL 2025 season.
Ravichandra Ashwin
One of the most exciting players to enter the Indian Premier League 2025 auction is Ravichandra Ashwin.He was released by the Rajasthan Royals after three seasons with the franchise. Representing RR, Ashwin picked up 35 wickets in 45 games.
Ashwin’s quality as a spinner along with his experience makes him valuable asset. It is to be noted that RR do not have any RTM card to use on the off spinner.
