Yashasvi Jaiswal to represent Mumbai in upcoming domestic season; MCA accepts his NOC withdrawal
The path has been cleared for Yashasvi Jaiswal to represent Mumbai in the upcoming domestic season after the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) on Monday approved the left-handed batter's request to withdraw his No-Objection Certificate (NOC) application. Earlier this year, the young India opener wrote to the MCA, seeking the MCA's approval to leave the state and move to Goa for domestic cricket.

However, just days later, he approached the MCA again, asking the cricket body to withdraw his NOC as he is available to serve Mumbai in the domestic season.
Two months after his application, the MCA has given the southpaw its go-ahead, and as a result, the batter is available for Mumbai. The decision was ratified by the Apex Council on Monday.
"Yashasvi has always been a proud product of Mumbai cricket. We have accepted Jaiswal's NOC withdrawal application, and he will be available for Mumbai in the forthcoming domestic season," MCA President Ajinkya Naik said in an official statement.
In April 2025, Jaiswal caught everyone off guard by asking MCA for a NOC to move to Goa. The batter cited personal reasons behind this shift. If he had indeed made the move, he would have joined Arjun Tendulkar and Siddhesh Lad in the list of Mumbai players who have represented Goa.
Speaking to the Indian Express, Jaiswal had then said that he wanted to move to Goa as the state offered him a leadership role.

"Goa has thrown me a new opportunity and has offered me a leadership role. My first goal will be to do well for India, and whenever I'm not on national duty, I will be playing for Goa and try to make them go deep into the tournament. This was an (important) opportunity which came my way and I just took it," Jaiswal said. Jaiswal scores century in Headingley Test against England
Jaiswal started the recent England series with a bang as he scored 101 in the first innings of the Headingley Test. However, he made headlines for dropping four catches in the entire Test, with three of them coming in the first innings.
He dropped Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope and Harry Brook in the first innings while he put down Duckett again in the second innings.
Speaking of domestic cricket, Jaiswal last played for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy earlier this year, representing the state against Jammu and Kashmir.
Jaiswal has been representing Mumbai since his U19 days.

Nasser Hussain On IND Bowler's Struggles: 'Couldn't Believe... He Kept Missing'
Last Updated: Nasser Hussain was shocked by Ravindra Jadeja's performance and lack of understanding of the pitch conditions in the first Test vs England. Nasser Hussain 'couldn't believe' how much Ravindra Jadeja struggled to get his plans right at Headingley in the first Test between India and England. The former English skipper thinks that the 36-year-old has 'plenty to ponder' ahead of the second game in Edgbaston which begins on Wednesday (July 2). Jadeja returned with just one wicket from the Test, despite bowling in conditions that suited his style. In comparison, England's much-criticised young tweaker Shoaib Bashir took three wickets. Hussain, writing in his column for the Daily Mail, assessed how Ben Duckett tackled him but Ben Stokes struggled. But then, he went on to mention that Jadeja didn't help himself by not using the rough available, saying that the experienced Indian spinner perhaps couldn't get over the sub-continent hangover. 'There is plenty for Jadeja to ponder as well," Hussain wrote. 'I could not believe how long it took him to change the way he bowled on the final day at Headingley. The rough wasn't extensive to the left-hander, but it was fairly wide and full and yet Jadeja bowled relatively straight to Duckett. He kept missing the rough." 'It is different in India when the pitches turn more, but in England, you have to look to find where that rough is and he didn't find it against Duckett. At tea, they must have had a chat because he bowled fuller and wider against Stokes. He made it a real challenge for Stokes, but it was too little, too late," he added. Hussain championed playing an additional spinner in Kuldeep Yadav but wondered how India fit him in. 'India could opt to play a second spinner at Edgbaston, with Kuldeep Yadav waiting in the wings," the former batter said. 'The left-arm wrist-spinner may give you more balls to hit, but he will get more bounce, and you will have to pick him because he spins it both ways. But the question for India i,s how do they get him in? It would leave them either a batsman or a seamer short. It will be fascinating to see what they do." India are 1-0 behind in the series. Kuldeep's inclusion could come at the cost of Shardul Thakur, with the all-rounder struggling for substantial impact with both bat and ball in the first Test.

No Jasprit Bumrah For 2nd Test? India Likely To Bring In 2 Spinners For Must-Win Edgbaston Clash Against England
IND vs ENG: India's preparation for the second Test against England at Edgbaston has sparked speculation over several key changes to the playing XI. With the match scheduled to begin on July 2, the training session on Monday gave the clearest signs yet that a reshuffled team is in the works most notably in the bowling department. Bumrah Likely to Be Rested India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who bowled a marathon 43.4 overs in the first Test at Headingley, is almost certain to miss the second Test as the management looks to manage his workload. Assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate confirmed that a decision would be taken within 24 hours but hinted heavily at Bumrah's absence. At training, Bumrah barely bowled only a few deliveries at the end of the session suggesting that India are looking ahead to keep him fresh for the third Test at Lord's. Third Seamer Dilemma: Arshdeep or Akash Deep? With Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna likely to retain their spots after decent outings in Leeds, India must choose between left-armer Arshdeep Singh and right-arm seamer Akash Deep for the third pace option. Arshdeep offers a left-arm angle that can trouble England's right-heavy top order, while Akash Deep impressed with his seam movement during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy earlier this year but is still hunting for consistent rewards. Nitish Reddy Set to Replace Shardul Thakur One of the clearest signs of change is the expected exclusion of Shardul Thakur. The all-rounder had a quiet first Test bowling only 16 overs and scoring a combined five runs and is set to be replaced by Nitish Kumar Reddy. Reddy's dual skills with bat and ball, along with sharp fielding, provide better balance and energy to the XI, especially in light of India's fielding lapses in the first match. Two Spinners on the Cards India's decision to go with just one spinner in the first Test backfired, particularly in the second innings. With the pitch at Edgbaston expected to assist turn later in the game and hot weather prevailing, India may opt for two spinners in Birmingham. Ravindra Jadeja, if fully fit, will return to the XI, while the second spin option will likely be between Kuldeep Yadav and Washington Sundar. Kuldeep's wrist spin offers an attacking option, while Sundar brings off-spin along with solid lower-order batting. There's even a possibility that both Jadeja and Sundar play as spin-bowling all-rounders. No Yashasvi Jaiswal In Slip Cordon After four dropped catches at Headingley several at gully India are reworking their slip cordon. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who struggled in the position, was removed from catching drills. In his place, Monday's session saw Karun Nair at first slip, KL Rahul and Shubman Gill at second and third, and a rotation between Reddy and Sai Sudharsan at fourth slip and gully. Must-Win Match for India India trail the five-match series 0-1 after a five-wicket defeat in Leeds. With England naming an unchanged XI for the second Test, India need both tactical changes and stronger execution to level the series. Coach Ryan ten Doeschate summed it up best: the selection tweaks will mean little unless India correct their fielding and seize key moments better in Birmingham.

Yashasvi Jaiswal Under Fire After Four Dropped Catches: Will He Play In India vs England 2nd Test At Edgbaston?
India's promising opener Yashasvi Jaiswal finds himself at the centre of an intense spotlight ahead of the second Test against England at Edgbaston, starting July 2. After a nightmare fielding display in the Leeds Test, where India fell to a five-wicket defeat, the 23-year-old's place in the slip cordon — and possibly even his role in the XI — has become a talking point. Jaiswal dropped four catches across both innings in the first Test, contributing significantly to India's downfall. These missed chances collectively cost India over 250 crucial runs, turning potential breakthroughs into extended English resistance. India dropped a staggering eight catches at Headingley — the most by the team in a single Test in the last three years. While fielding lapses can happen in any game, the sheer impact of these mistakes was glaring. England capitalized on nearly every dropped opportunity. Among the biggest let-offs: Ben Duckett, dropped by Jaiswal on 11, went on to score 62. Ollie Pope, reprieved on 60, smashed a brilliant 106. Harry Brook, dropped twice (once by Pant and once by Jaiswal), fell agonizingly short of a century on 99. Jaiswal's final drop — Duckett on 97 — led to a match-sealing 149-run knock. Jaiswal's four drops not only made him the top offender but also exposed India's fragile fielding under pressure, especially in English conditions where slip catching is paramount. Gambhir's Intervention: A Technical Chat, or a Dressing-Down? In the wake of the defeat, head coach Gautam Gambhir was seen having an animated conversation with Jaiswal during training at Edgbaston. According to a video shared by Revsportz, Gambhir, assisted by Ryan ten Doeschate, appeared to be offering corrective measures — focusing on short catching technique and positioning. Eyewitnesses reported that Jaiswal has been removed from the gully during practice, replaced by debutant Sai Sudharsan. The move suggests a strategic reshuffle rather than a punitive one. Ryan ten Doeschate Breaks Silence: 'Jaiswal Needs a Breather' India's assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate addressed the media on Monday, attempting to quell the speculation. 'Yashasvi has been a very good catcher for us. His hands are sore, and maybe we just give him a break from the gully. We want to build versatility in our fielding group. Managing his confidence is key right now,' said ten Doeschate. The statement reflects a pragmatic approach — easing the pressure on a young talent already shouldering the responsibility of opening in English conditions, while reinforcing the team's intent to bounce back. Redemption Awaits: Can Jaiswal Deliver With the Bat? While his fielding is under the scanner, Jaiswal's credentials with the bat remain intact. He scored a century in his debut Test innings on English soil and still remains a key player in India's top order. With Shubman Gill leading the side, India will bank on their left-right combination at the top to counter England's potent pace attack. Despite the criticism, the team management has not hinted at dropping Jaiswal from the playing XI — a show of faith that could reignite his form and confidence. India vs England 2nd Test Preview: What's at Stake? Trailing 0-1 in the five-match series, India must secure a win at Edgbaston to level the series. With questions around fielding, the bowling attack's inconsistency, and underwhelming lower-order contributions, the pressure is squarely on the visitors. England, on the other hand, look to capitalize on the momentum, especially after clinical performances from the likes of Pope, Brook, and Duckett.
