It will be a second appearance for Jaiswal for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy this season after he played in the clash against Rajasthan in the first round.
Jaiswal will play only his second match in the Ranji Trophy this season
The India opener was "not considered" for selection by the MCA and the senior selection panel after he had failed to confirm his availability during the second round of the group stage which concluded on Sunday.
Jaiswal isn't a part of the Indian side bound for the T20 World Cup.Â
Meanwhile, regular skipper Thakur will take over the charge from Siddhesh Lad who led Mumbai in the former's absence due to an injury suffered in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
Thakur had begun bowling during the last group stage match against Delhi, which ended in a draw.
