Rohit Sharma to Represent Mumbai in Vijay Hazare Trophy

Former India captain Rohit Sharma has confirmed his availability to play for Mumbai in the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy. The 38-year-old informed the Mumbai Cricket Association that he will join the squad following India's three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka, which concludes on December 19.

The 50-over domestic tournament is scheduled to run through December, with knockout matches taking place in early January. While his participation is confirmed, the specific number of games he will play remains to be determined.

This decision aligns with a broader initiative to provide senior players with more domestic match experience ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup. Rohit previously returned to the competition last season, where he recorded a century against Sikkim and a duck against Uttarakhand.

Before turning his attention to domestic cricket, Rohit is scheduled to compete in a five-match ODI series against New Zealand starting in early November. He has already begun training in the nets to prepare for these upcoming international and domestic assignments.
