Jaiswal makes sensational U-turn in NOC row saying that he wants to continue playing for Mumbai domestically.
Jaiswal makes U-turn, wants to continue playing for Mumbai.
Yashasvi Jaiswal has changed his mind and asked the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) to allow him to stay with Mumbai for the 2025–2026 domestic season rather than moving to Goa. After about two weeks, the MCA will discuss Jaiswal’s matter in its supreme council meeting.
Since his family was moving to Goa, Jaiswal had been planned to live there and play for the state, but the plan had changed, he wrote in an official letter to the MCA. Jaiswal requested and received a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the MCA just over a month ago, allowing him to relocate to Goa.
“He has written a letter to us, but we are in no hurry to take a decision on this because there is time for the next domestic season,” MCA secretary Abhay Hadap told
“He has said he has not submitted that NOC either with the BCCI or Goa [Cricket Association] yet.”
Since his Under-19 days, 23-year-old Jaiswal has represented Mumbai. In his ten first-class games since making his debut for Mumbai in 2019, he has amassed 863 runs at an average of 53.93, including two fifties, four hundreds, and his highest score of 181 against Uttar Pradesh in 2022.
In the most recent domestic season, he also played for Mumbai in a Ranji Trophy match against Jammu & Kashmir, which they lost at home. After hurting his right ankle during pregame training, he was unable to play in the semi-final matchup against Vidarbha.
