Jaiswal to leave Mumbai for Goa for upcoming domestic season

New Delhi : Yashasvi Jaiswal is likely to follow Arjun Tendulkar and Siddhesh Lad into making a switch from Mumbai cricket to Goa. India and Mumbai opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal is pondering a move to Goa for the upcoming domestic season. The left-handed batter has emailed the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA), seeking a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to make the switch. Sources within the MCA confirmed to Hindustan Times on Wednesday that the 23-year-old has indeed asked for permission. However, the reason behind Jaiswal’s decision has not been revealed.
“Yes, we have received a request from Yashasvi seeking an NOC. We have received mail from him expressing his desire to move to Goa for the upcoming domestic season,” the source said. When asked why Jaiswal requested to move over, the source refrained from revealing more details, saying the youngster cited “personal” reasons. If the MCA gives the nod to Yashasvi, then the lefthander will join the likes of Arjun Tendulkar and Siddhesh Lad to represent Goa in their careers. Jaiswal recently played for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy fixture against Jammu and Kashmir. This came after the BCCI issued a diktat for every centrally-contracted player, making it mandatory to play domestic cricket. Against Jammu and Kashmir, Jaiswal registered scores of 4 and 26. It must be mentioned that Jaiswal has been representing Mumbai since his U19 days. Jaiswal first came to public notice after registering a double century for Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. His consistent performances in the domestic circuit led to his earning a Test call-up, and since then, he has not looked back. Sources within Goa Cricket Association also confirmed Jaiswal moving to Goa. “Yes, we have decided to rope him in. The paperwork remains but we are excited to have him around as the rest of the squad members can learn from his experience.”
