Jaiswal available for Mumbai's Ranji opener against Chandigarh
Jaiswal's availability gives Mumbai a boost before he leaves for India's tour of New Zealand after the first game.
Yashasvi Jaiswal will be available for Mumbai's Ranji Trophy opener against Chandigarh at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. He will not feature from the second game onwards due to national commitments.
Mumbai captain Siddhesh Lad said Jaiswal has been practising wicketkeeping and leg-spin to add dimensions to his game. The opener has kept wicket for about 10 overs in practice matches.
Mumbai will be without Shardul Thakur, who has a fractured right middle finger. Tushar Deshpande will lead the pace attack in his absence.

Jaiswal's push to keep wickets shows how T20's demand for multi-dimensional players is reshaping even Test specialists' preparation.
