Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel and Yash Dayal were on Monday released from the Indian Test side to participate in the Irani Cup in Lucknow.

The Irani Cup contest, between the Rest of the India side and the winner of the previous Ranji Trophy, Mumbai, will be played from Tuesday at the Ekana Cricket Stadium.

“Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel and Yash Dayal have been released from India's Test squad to participate in the #IraniCup, scheduled to commence tomorrow in Lucknow,” the BCCI said in a post in 'X'.

 

While former India captain Ajinkya Rahane will lead Mumbai, the Ranji Trophy winner of the 2023-24 season, India and Maharashtra batter Ruturaj Gaikwad will lead the Rest of the India squad.

Middle-order batter Sarfaraz will be linking up with the Mumbai side which will be missing his younger brother and key batter Musheer Khan, who is currently recovering from injuries sustained in a road accident last Saturday while traveling with their father and another person from Azamgarh to Lucknow.

Wicketkeeper-batter Jurel and uncapped left-arm fast bowler Dayal will be joining the ROI squad.

While announcing the ROI squad, the BCCI had informed that availability of these three players would be subjected to them not being involved in the second Test between India and Bangladesh.
