Do you think which player will perform better in Goa: Suryakumar Yadav or Yashasvi Jaiswal?
The Goa Cricket Association (GCA) is currently reaching players across the country after being promoted to the Elite Group in the Ranji Trophy. While there was a conversation with Jaiswal a few days ago, it has also been learned that Hyderabad captain Tilak Verma has also been contacted. On contact, GCA Secretary Shamb Desai did not provide any details, but said that he would soon finalize the remaining professional players.
“We are currently interacting with many players of the country. I can’t give you a name right now. We will soon finalize other professional players.”

Jaiswal has already demanded NOC from the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) and Desai revealed that he had reached the young man a week ago.
Desai says, “We approached Jaiswal about 8-10 days ago, he came back to us after thinking about it and now that he has asked for an NOC, the formalities and the necessary paperwork will be completed,” Desai says.
The move has increased a lot of eyebrows, but those trekking developments feel that some incidents may have contributed to the move. During the 2022 Dalip Trophy stability between the western territory and the south region, Jaiswal was sent out of the field by the current Mumbai Red-Ball Captain, Ajinkya Rahane and since that incident, there has been a strong disturbance in the Mumbai dressing room.
Even in the last domestic season, Jaiswal, who was ready to play in the Ranji Trophy semifinal vs Vidarbha, complained of ankle pain and returned home from Nagpur. He first played vs J&K at home when he opened the innings with Rohit Sharma and returned with a score of 4 and 26.
It is more understood that Jaiswal consulted with his senior Mumbai colleagues before taking the move and the ambition of captaincy could also play his role in sending that email on Wednesday. However, the time seems a bit as the Indian Premier League (IPL) is running and he had a travel day with Rajasthan Royals (RR) unit to play the role of Punjab Kings (PBK) in Chandigarh on 5 April.
The team that manages their commitments maintained silence on development and even their family members are surprised.
