In a sudden turn of events, Yashasvi Jaiswal has requested the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) to allow him to continue playing for the side in domestic cricket. His move comes weeks after he was granted a Non-Objection Certificate (NOC) by the association to move on to play for Goa. Jaiswal was reportedly offered captaincy in the new team and had decided to make his move.

As per The Indian Express, Jaiswal wrote to the MCA claiming that he intended to move from Mumbai to Goa as his family had plans to shift. He said that those plans were now curtailed and that he wishes to continue playing for Mumbai. Yashasvi added that he had neither submitted the NOC to BCCI or to Goa.
“I the undersigned would request your goodself to consider my request in withdrawing my NOC given to me as I had some family plans in shifting to Goa which for now has been curtailed ! So I sincerely request MCA to allow me to play for Mumbai this season ! I have not submitted the NOC to bcci nor to Goa Cricket Association,” Jaiswal wrote in email to MCA.

Jaiswal made his first-class debut in 2019 in Mumbai’s game against Chhattisgarh. He has 3712 runs from 36 games and averages 60.85. Earlier, reports had claimed that a tiff with Mumbai captain Ajinkya Rahane was the reason behind Jaiswal moving to Goa.
“I have had the privilege of representing Mumbai in domestic cricket and have immensely benefited from the opportunities provided by the association. However, after careful consideration of my career aspirations and personal circumstances, I have decided to seek a transfer to Goa to continue my domestic cricket journey,” Yashasvi Jaiswal wrote in his email to the MCA.
