Yashasvi Jaiswal, India’s explosive batsman, has reversed his decision just one month after requesting a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to move his domestic cricket representation from Mumbai to Goa. Notably, Yashasvi Jaiswal requested the NOC be withdrawn in an email to the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA).
Additionally, he stated that he is available to play for Mumbai during the forthcoming domestic season. For those who don’t know, Jaiswal stated last month that he would like to represent Goa instead of Mumbai. The MCA was caught off guard by this action. The southpaw explained that he thought about the move for personal reasons.
“As I had some family intentions to move to Goa, which have since been postponed, I, the undersigned, would like your good self to take into consideration my request to revoke the NOC that was granted to me. Therefore, I humbly ask that MCA grant me permission to play for Mumbai this season. According to The Indian Express, Yashasvi Jaiswal wrote, “I have not submitted the NOC to the Goa Cricket Association or the BCCI.”
Speaking about Jaiswal’s decision, if he had actually followed through on his ambitions to join Goa, he would have played with players like Siddesh Lad and Arjun Tendulkar, who had represented the dynamic state in the Ranji Trophy. It has come to light that the MCA has not yet responded to Jaiswal on the issue or taken any action.
Yashasvi Jaiswal remains with Mumbai following consideration for the Goa captaincy.
The 23-year-old had a terrific start to his Test career with Team India, smashing two fifties and a brilliant century during the tour of Australia. Yashasvi Jaiswal disclosed that the state of Goa extended an opportunity to him to serve as captain. Consequently, he contemplated making the unexpected change.
“Goa has given me a leadership position and a fresh opportunity. In addition to playing for Goa and trying to lead them far into the tournament while I’m not on national duty, my top priority will be to perform well for India. I simply seized this significant chance when it presented itself,” Yashasvi Jaiswal said.
