India's Test and ODI captain Rohit Sharma is all set to miss Mumbai's final Ranji Trophy match against Meghalaya, starting on the 30th of this month. Rohit's much-awaited Ranji Trophy return was nothing short of a nightmare, as the stylish right-handed batter managed only 31 runs across two outings against Jammu and Kashmir. 

Rohit, Jaiswal, Iyer and Dube To Be Unavailable For Mumbai vs Meghalaya Ranji Trophy Match

Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma is one of the four players who will be unavailable for Mumbai's final Ranji Trophy encounter against Meghalaya. According to the Times of India (TOI), Rohit, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shreyas Iyer will likely attend the BCCI's annual awards in Mumbai on February 1. Furthermore, they will report to a training camp in Nagpur ahead of the England ODIs.

Meanwhile, Shivam Dube will also miss the game as he has been added to India's squad for the ongoing T20I series against England. 

"Rohit, Jaiswal and Iyer are all likely to attend the BCCI's Naman Annual awards in Mumbai on February 1. Next day (February 2), they are supposed to report for a short camp to Nagpur before the three-match ODI series against England," a source was quoted as saying by TOI. 

Performance Of Rohit, Iyer, Jaiswal And Dube in Mumbai vs J&K

All these players had a forgettable time in Mumbai's previous Ranji Trophy affair against Jammu & Kashmir. While Rohit struck 31 runs across both innings, Jaiswal and Iyer could contribute only 30 and 28 runs, respectively, to the total. On the other hand, Shivam Dube couldn't open his account in two consecutive attempts. As a result, Mumbai succumbed to a disastrous defeat against J&K, making their final encounter a must-win clash in the Ranji Trophy.
