All eyes will also be on the Ranji Trophy return of Musheer, who missed most of the matches last season due to a car accident.

Ayush Mhatre, who opened for Chennai Super Kings in IPL and was the captain of India’s Under-19 team, will also be strengthening the batting in the team. A mix of experience and youthful enthusiasm has been created in the Mumbai squad.

Shreyas Iyer not in the team

Shreyas Iyer, who plays for Mumbai in domestic cricket, has not got a chance because he is on a break from red-ball cricket due to a back problem. Suryakumar Yadav is also not a part of this team, who was seen playing in the semi-finals last season.
