Ishan Kishan named in Rest of India squad for Irani Cup match vs Mumbai

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday unveiled the Rest of India squad for the upcoming Irani Cup clash against the Ranji Trophy champions Mumbai, scheduled to be played at Atal Bihari Vajpayee Stadium in Lucknow from October 1 to 5.

Ishan Kishan is one of the two wicketkeepers to be picked in the squad along with Dhruv Jurel. Kishan's addition indicates his gradual return to contention for national selection after losing his BCCI annual central contract earlier this year.

Jurel and pacer Yash Dayal are linked up with India's squad for the second Test against Bangladesh in Kanpur. However, BCCI will likely release them from the squad if they aren't named in the playing 11 which kicks off on September 27. Both players have been retained in India's unchanged 16-man squad for the Test.
