Mumbai: India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has requested the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) to allow him to remain with the domestic giants, a month after asking for a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to switch to Goa.
In April, Jaiswal surprised everyone by writing to the MCA to seek its approval for a shock move to Goa. On its part, the MCA too had swiftly approved Jaiswal's request.
PTI is in possession of Jaiswal's email to the MCA in which he said he is available to represent Mumbai in the next domestic season.

'I the undersigned would request your goodself to consider my request in withdrawing my NOC given to me as I had some family plans in shifting to Goa which for now has been curtailed!,' Jaiswal wrote.
'So I sincerely request MCA to allow me to play for Mumbai this season! I have not submitted the NOC to BCCI nor to Goa Cricket Association!,' he added.
Jaiswal, who moved from Uttar Pradesh's Bhadohi to Mumbai as a young player and rose through the ranks to make his debut across formats for India over the last couple of years, was also believed to have shifted to Goa from Mumbai owing to the prospect of becoming their captain.
A packed international calendar perhaps would not have allowed the 23-year-old Jaiswal a lot of time to spend with Goa, but becoming their skipper would have given him some experience in major leadership roles.
The secretary of the Goa Cricket Association, Shamba Desai had earlier confirmed to PTI that Jaiswal would be their captain with the Goa team being promoted from Plate division to Elite ahead of the 2025-26 season.

IND vs ENG 2nd Test: Elite company! Yashasvi Jaiswal enters club of Don Bradman, Viv Richards with record run spree
Yashasvi Jaiswal (@BCCI X/ANI Photo) Yashasvi Jaiswal may have missed out on a century by a narrow margin, but the young opener etched his name into history books with a remarkable feat on the opening day of the second Test at Edgbaston. His composed 87 off 107 balls against England not only laid a solid platform for India but also made him the first Indian batter to score fifty-plus runs in seven consecutive Tests against England at the start of a career. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The milestone places Jaiswal among the game's greats, joining an elite group that includes Rahul Dravid, who achieved the same feat later in his career between 2002 and 2006. However, Jaiswal's achievement is unique in coming right at the start of his Test journey, underlining his rapid rise as India's new batting sensation. Yashasvi Jaiswal press conference: On Shubman Gill, confusion in India team selection and more Jaiswal also became just the sixth batter in history to score 900+ runs in their first seven Tests against England, sitting alongside legends like Don Bradman (1196), Viv Richards (1151), George Headley (980), Brian Lara (959), and Mark Taylor (916). With 904 runs, the 23-year-old now finds himself in elite company. Despite his dismissal just 13 short of a second successive century, Jaiswal struck a positive note after the day's play. 'Of course, there is disappointment,' he said. 'But it's a part of the game. I just need to keep learning and enjoy cricket because it's a wonderful game.' His 66-run stand with captain Shubman Gill, who went on to score an unbeaten 114, helped India recover from early setbacks and close the day strongly at 310/5.

Srikanth enters second round of Canada Open, Ayush Shetty loses
In another men's singles match, Sankar Muthusamy got the better of fifth-seeded Ayush Shetty 23-21, 21-12 in 44 minutes. The 2021 World Championships silver medallist Srikanth, who had finished runner-up at the Malaysia Masters in May, recovered from a game down to prevail 18-21, 21-19, 21-14 in a pulsating 53-minute opening-round clash. Calgary (Canada), Jul 2 (PTI) India's Kidambi Srikanth progressed to the men's singles second round with a thrilling three-game win over compatriot Priyanshu Rajawat, but young Ayush Shetty lost to Sankar Muthusamy Subramanian at the Canada Open Super 300 badminton tournament here on Wednesday. It was a fierce battle between Srikanth and Rajawat, the two academy mates who had faced off twice before, with Rajawat emerging victorious on both occasions — including straight-game wins at the German Open earlier this year and the 2023 Australian Open. There was little to separate the duo in the opening game, as they moved neck-and-neck from 6-6 to 17-17 before Rajawat stepped on the gas to take the lead. Srikanth trailed initially after the change of sides in the second game but showed resilience to turn the tables, first levelling at 9-9 and then surging ahead 12-9. The two remained locked in a tight contest until 18-18, when Srikanth broke free to push the match into the decider. In the third game, Srikanth kept his nose ahead for the most part, but Rajawat clawed back to 14-14. However, the senior shuttler raised his game in the closing stages, reeling off seven of the next points to seal the contest. PTI ATK AM AM KHS This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.
