US EditionShreyas Iyer to captain Mumbai in remaining Vijay Hazare Trophy fixtures
- The Mumbai Cricket Association announced Shreyas Iyer will lead the Mumbai senior men's team for the remaining Vijay Hazare Trophy league matches on January 6 and January 8 in Jaipur.
- With Shardul Thakur sidelined after injury in the last league game, Mumbai chief selector Sanjay Patil and the MCA confirmed a leadership change.
- After rehabilitation at the Centre of Excellence, Bengaluru, Shreyas Iyer recovered from a spleen laceration with internal bleeding, completed a match simulation last week, and was cleared by the BCCI medical team.
- Because Iyer is in India's ODI squad from next week, his participation depends on BCCI medical team clearance, and if cleared, Mumbai must appoint another captain as he would miss the Vijay Hazare Trophy knockouts.
- The New Zealand ODIs begin on January 11 while Vijay Hazare Trophy knockouts run January 12–18 at the Centre of Excellence, Bengaluru; Mumbai selectors have Sarfaraz Khan, Shashank Attarde, and Suryakumar Yadav as alternatives.
