Angkrish Raghuvanshi returns from finger surgery for Mumbai

Kolkata Knight Riders batter Angkrish Raghuvanshi has been named in Mumbai’s squad for the Dr (Capt) K Thimmappiah Memorial Trophy after recovering from finger surgery. The 22-year-old missed the T20 Mumbai League in June following an operation in London.

Raghuvanshi scored 422 runs in 13 IPL matches last season and hit five half-centuries. Mumbai chief selector Rajesh Pawar confirmed the selection on Friday but said Ayush Mhatre remains sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Mumbai open their campaign against Chandigarh on September 1 in Bengaluru. The squad is led by Suved Parkar and includes Suryansh Shedge and 16-year-old pacer Karthik Kumar.
